1949 Map of Bostwick

About this map

Simms Creek and Clarkes Creek wind through the wetlands and low-lying pine woods of northern Putnam County in this mid-century topographic record. The settlement of Bostwick serves as the local hub along the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, which runs north-south through the eastern portion of the landscape. This area, updated based on late 1940s field work, shows a rural economy defined by scattered homesteads and small clearings such as Sun Garden and Hancock. The survey identifies local landmarks like De Coy Ch and highlights the border between Clay Co and Putnam Co. The map captures the region's character just as modern infrastructure began to overlay the traditional agricultural and rail-dependent landscape of the Florida interior.
