1969 Map of Center Hill
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Center Hill and Okahumpka anchor this 1969 topographic portrait of the wet, sinkhole-dotted landscape straddling the Sumter Co Lake Co line. The terrain is defined by a complex mosaic of marshes, ponds, and prairie, notably Wilson Marsh and the sprawling Hampton Prairie. Transportation and industry dominate the corridor, with the Floridas Turnpike Toll Road and the Seaboard Coast Line railroad cutting diagonal paths across the wetlands. This era shows the local economy's reliance on both agriculture and mineral extraction, evidenced by the University of Florida State Experimental Farm and numerous claypits. Genealogists will find value in the presence of Cool Spring Cem and Merritt Cem, alongside water bodies like Palatlakaha River and the Jumper Creek Canal.
