1954 Map of Chiefland SW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Gulf Hammock dominates the landscape of this 1954 survey in coastal Levy County, Florida. This dense subtropical woodland area is depicted with intricate detail, illustrating the complex network of wetlands and scattered high ground characteristic of the Big Bend region. The small settlement of Sumner is the primary human landmark on the sheet, situated along a primary roadway that cuts through the surrounding wilderness. Compiled in part from 1951 aerial photography, the map captures the region's topography before significant modern drainage or development altered the natural flow of the hammock. It is a vital record for understanding the original environmental character of this specialized coastal ecosystem during the mid-twentieth century.
