1943 Map of Arran

About this map

The county seat of Crawfordville serves as the central hub for Wakulla County in the late 1930s, surrounded by a landscape defined by the Apalachicola National Forest and the coastal marshes of the St Marks Wildlife Refuge. The Seaboard Air Line RR cuts through the western timberlands, connecting small communities like Arran and Ashmore to the wider region. Along the coast, the map documents the intricate geography of Oyster Bay and Dickerson Bay, where fishing and maritime life centered around Panacea and Stokley Landing. This survey preserves the locations of several rural institutions, including the Mt Pleasant Sch and Pilgrims Rest Ch, alongside numerous family burial grounds such as Roddenberry Cem and Oak Park Cem. The presence of Lawhorns Mill and Bottoms Fishery illustrates the local reliance on timber and the Gulf's waters during this era.
