1954 Map of Chassahowitzka Bay

About this map

The Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge dominates this coastal survey, where the intricate network of tidal creeks and marshes meets the Gulf of Mexico. Along the boundary between Citrus and Hernando counties, the Chassahowitzka River flows through a dense mosaic of mangroves and wetlands known as the Chassahowitzka Swamp. The map details a labyrinthine shoreline of islands and keys, including Seven Cabbage Island, Slate Island, and Buckhorn Key, separated by winding waterways like Seven Cabbage Cutoff and Pumpkin Creek.
