1970 Map of Crescent City

About this map

Crescent Lake dominates the eastern landscape of this 1970s Putnam County study, providing the geographic anchor for settlements like Crescent City and Lake Como. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, where numerous smaller basins such as Silver Lake, Lake Margaret, and Clear Lake are interspersed with citrus groves and wetlands. The transport network of the era is clearly visible, centered on the Seaboard Coast Line railroad which connects several communities from Pomona Park in the north down to Crescent City Station. Local landmarks like Thunderbird Airpark and the Crescent City High School reflect the mid-century infrastructure of the region. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including Eden Cem, Greenwood Cem, and the Pomona-Lake Como Cem.
