1978 Map of Cross City
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Mallory Swamp and Pumpkin Swamp dominate this coastal Florida landscape, where the flat timberlands of the Big Bend meet the Gulf of Mexico. The regional economy of the late 1970s is reflected in the clustered settlements of Cross City, Shamrock, and Eugene, which serve as the inland hubs for the surrounding wilderness. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad provides a critical transportation artery, while an Old Railroad Grade suggests a legacy of earlier logging or industrial ventures throughout the wetlands. Along the jagged coastline, small communities like Keaton Beach and Dekle Beach are joined by numerous islands and points, including Pine Log Island and Cedar Island. The Steinhatchee River cuts a prominent path through the swamps of Taylor and Dixie Counties, marking a transition from the dense interior hammocks to the maritime environments of Deadman Bay.
