1954 Map of Cotton Plant

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The agrarian and railway landscape of Marion County is defined by the intersection of the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line, which anchor the small settlements of the region. This mid-century survey captures a network of rural communities including Cotton Plant, Martel, and York, where the local economy is evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits and a solitary Mine in the northwest. The terrain is a karst-influenced expanse of seasonal basins and sinkhole ponds, most notably Sturgis Prairie and Hog Pond, which are surrounded by numerous family-named water bodies like Sanders Pond and Coleman Pond. Social life centers on historically significant rural congregations such as Mars Hill Ch, Siloam Ch, and Friendship Ch. The map reflects a period before the rapid modernization of central Florida, preserving the locations of early schools and community nodes like Fellowship and Mt Olive.
