Not the same as Camp Augur (WY); in (Cullum 1842) it's tenanted as early as March, 1867, well before the WY camp was established.

NV

|
| Camp Dalton

|
| Camp Drywood Creek

1872‑1873

|
(Cullum 2278) • (Cullum 2837) • (Cullum 2856) • (Cullum 2924): at Augusta. I suspect that this camp underlies many mentions of just plain "Augusta, Ga." in post assignments in Cullum. In (Cullum 3719), spelled "McKenzie". See some slight details, but of interest, in ["Augusta" in the New Georgia Encyclopedia].

A Union post during the War of Secession. On my site, p275 of Norris's history of Annapolis, and offsite at North American Forts with dates and a further link to a MD roadside marker. It's connected to Camp Richmond also near Annapolis, which doesn't have a page on FortWiki (not Fort Richmond).

Very likely just a temporary camp, but historically important because it was the departure point for Whipple's Explorations of 1853. He locates it precisely by astronomical and chronometrical observation, see my note and map at [1].

Sometimes, although not as often, called "Camp" on North Fork Canadian River. (Cullum 1387) • (Cullum 2253) • (Cullum 2308) • (Cullum 2410) • (Cullum 2687) • (Cullum 2691) • (Cullum 2781). Also, (Cullum 2746) mentions a "Cantonment at the mouth of Canadian River" (1881), which I think is the same place. It seems to have been established by General Dodge in his first explorations of the area.
