Dave Smith's History
of the Camp
Camp Michaux Home Page
The map that follows is from
the POW era. The accompanying table
shows the buildings identified with their US Army numbers. Buildings known to exist during the CCC and Church camp era
are identified in the appropriate columns.
The road shown running north to south through the camp is Michaux Road.
Additional buildings and structures were constructed after this map was
drawn including the Japanese barracks and the dam on Toms Run near the pump
house (bldg 9). The church camp
constructed the new pool on the west side of the camp and the pavilion on the
north side of the camp as well as additional latrines and bath houses.
