1954 Map of Boyd

About this map

Perry anchors the southern edge of this mid-century Florida landscape, serving as a hub for both rail and emerging local communications. The northern portion of town features the Radio Station (WPRY), while a dedicated Landing Field sits just south of the community of Boyd. This era shows a transition between traditional rural life and modern infrastructure, where the Southern and Atlantic Coast Line railroads intersect the timber-rich surroundings of Southern Pine Bay. Scattered across the piney woods and creek bottoms are essential community landmarks for genealogists, including Shiloh Ch and its accompanying Shiloh Cem, alongside Mt Carmel Ch and Friendship Ch. The terrain is defined by slow-moving water systems like Woods Creek and Spring Creek, which navigate the low-lying Florida panhandle geography.
