About this map

The community of Citra stands as a central point of interest in this North Florida landscape, where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad dictates the local geography. This 1967 survey, later revised to reflect changes in the early 1980s, reveals a territory defined by complex wetlands and family-named landmarks. Genealogists can find numerous burial grounds including Antioch Cem, Carlton Cem, and Tompkins Cem, while spiritual life is anchored by St Johns Ch and Willow Plant Ch.

To the north and south, significant water bodies like Orange Lake and Lochloosa Lake border the area, linked by the Lochloosa Slough. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the sprawling Black Sink Prairie, featuring an Aband Canal and a large quarry near the railroad tracks. This mix of industrial extraction and rural settlement, from the small hub at Island Grove to the natural expanse of the California Scrub, provides a clear view of the region's mid-century transition.
