1972 Map of Bloxham

About this map

Lake Talquin dominates the southeastern quadrant of this region, where the Ochlockonee River is harnessed for power and recreation at Jackson Bluff. The landscape is a network of shifting elevations and dense drainage patterns, featuring names like Hammock Bluff and the winding Ocklawaha Creek. This early 1970s survey captures the rural character of northern Florida, where community life centered on small landmarks such as Antioch Ch and the Friendship Cem. Within the Apalachicola National Forest, infrastructure for fire monitoring is visible at the Hosford Lookout Tower. The map also details the transition from woodland to water, noting shoreline features like Hopkins Landing and Whippoorwill Marina, which serve the local fishing and boating economy on the reservoir.
