1895 Map of Citra

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The French Phosphate Mines and neighboring Baker Mine anchor the southern landscape of this 1893 survey, reflecting an era when phosphate extraction was a primary driver of the local economy. The terrain is defined by a complex hydrology of large water bodies and expansive marshy flats, most notably Orange Lake, Lochloosa Lake, and the wide Black Sink Prairie. These features are connected by the famous Cross Creek, a narrow thread through the wetlands that would later become synonymous with Florida regional literature.
