1978 Map of Cross City

About this map

The Steinhatchee River carves a winding path through the Big Bend region, serving as a natural boundary during this late 1970s survey. To the east, the sprawling wetlands of Mallory Swamp, Pumpkin Swamp, and California Swamp dominate the interior, illustrating the difficult terrain that historically shaped settlement patterns in Dixie and Taylor Counties. The industrial and transit hub of Cross City is clearly visible alongside the neighboring communities of Shamrock and Eugene, which were traditionally tied to the local timber industry.
