2012 Map of Crescent City

About this map

Crescent City and the surrounding citrus and water-rich landscape of Putnam County are defined here by a chain of inland lakes and the wide expanse of Crescent Lake to the east. The settlement pattern follows the CSX railroad corridor, which links the established community at Lake Como through Huntington and Crescent City Station down toward Hammond. This 2012 survey illustrates the long-standing agricultural and transport hubs of the region, including the Skinners Wholesale Nursery Airport and local aviation sites like Eagles Nest Aerodrome and Finlay Farm Airport. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable burial grounds, including Pomona-Lake Como Cem and Greenwood Cem, alongside the Eden Ch church. The map documents the intricate hydrology of the area, from Lake Broward in the north to the western reach of the Saint Johns River, showing how water has dictated the placement of towns and transit for generations.
