Fort Gordon/Camp Gordon Cemeteries, Richmond County, Augusta, GA

CEMETERIES OF FORT GORDON, GEORGIA.  Survey taken in the Summer of 1998.  Compiled by SSG John and Libbie Davis
Fort Gordon is located near the city of Augusta and occupies a large area of Richmond County and smaller portions of McDuffie, Jefferson
and Columbia Counties.  The land was purchased by the military in 1940; this area was evidently settled after the Revolutionary War and
before 1830.  Because this is a Military Base and some of the cemeteries are located in shell impact areas and the on going military exercises being
conducted, anyone who would like to visit any cemetery needs to contact the Environmental and Natural Resources Management Office
at 791-2397 or 791-2327.  There was a survey done by the DFE Forestry Section in October 1982, which was used as a reference guide during our survey.
