The Liberty County Georgia map covers a coastal county shaped by military life, colonial history, and tidal landscapes. Hinesville is the county seat and largest city, while Fort Stewart occupies a major part of the inland area. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated 70,313 residents on July 1, 2025, up 7.7 percent from the 2020 estimates base.
Liberty County contains seven incorporated cities, but they do not form one continuous urban area. Hinesville and nearby communities cluster around Fort Stewart, while Midway and Riceboro connect the map to the county’s coastal, Revolutionary-era, and Gullah Geechee history.

Fort Stewart and the modern county economy
Fort Stewart is home to the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Division and is the strongest modern influence on Liberty County’s population and economy. The installation extends beyond the county, but its principal garrison area is near Hinesville. Military personnel, civilian employees, and families support housing, retail, schools, and public services across the Hinesville area.
Hinesville’s development strategy explicitly recognizes its relationship with Fort Stewart. The city is both the government center and the county’s primary commercial hub, while Allenhurst, Flemington, and Walthourville form smaller municipalities along the same inland settlement corridor.
Map coverage and file versions
This Liberty County Georgia map includes Hinesville, Allenhurst, Flemington, Gumbranch, Midway, Riceboro, and Walthourville. Community names remain on the color and black-and-white files, while the outline version removes labels and fills for custom annotation.
From Sunbury to Hinesville
Liberty County was created in 1786 from colonial parish territory. Sunbury, established as a seaport in 1758, served as the first county seat and became a Revolutionary War battleground near Fort Morris. British forces captured the area in 1779 and later burned Sunbury and the fort.
The county seat moved to Riceboro in 1798 and then to Hinesville in 1836. That sequence explains why historic sites are concentrated closer to the coast even though today’s government and population center is farther inland.
Seven cities with distinct local identities
- Hinesville: county seat, largest city, and commercial center
- Midway: colonial settlement and Revolutionary-era heritage
- Riceboro: oldest surviving town and a center of Gullah Geechee heritage
- Allenhurst, Flemington, and Walthourville: smaller inland cities near the Hinesville–Fort Stewart area
- Gumbranch: a western rural community with nineteenth-century farming roots
The seven-city structure is important because Liberty County cannot be understood only through Hinesville. Midway and Riceboro preserve different historic and coastal traditions, while the smaller inland municipalities reflect timber, farming, and military-area development.
Tidal rivers, marshes, and coastal history
The eastern side of Liberty County includes the Medway and Newport rivers, tidal creeks, marshes, and coastal islands. These waterways shaped early settlement, rice cultivation, fishing, and access to Sunbury. They also create a sharp visual contrast with the more developed inland corridor around Hinesville.
Liberty County borders Bryan County to the north, Evans County to the northwest, Long County to the west, and McIntosh County to the south. Its eastern edge opens toward Georgia’s tidal coast rather than another county.
Color map
The color file separates the Hinesville-area cluster from Midway and Riceboro closer to the coast. It is useful for seeing how the seven cities are distributed between the inland military corridor and the marsh-side east.
Black and white map
The monochrome version retains names and boundary lines without color fills. It keeps distant places such as Gumbranch and Midway readable on grayscale handouts or reference pages.
Outline map
The outline file leaves county and internal lines without community names. Users can add Fort Stewart, coastal waterways, historic sites, roads, or their own regional labels.
