1954 Map of Cross City SW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

California Swamp dominates this landscape in the mid-1950s, where the low-lying terrain is defined by a network of wetlands and seasonal watercourses. The presence of the Old Railroad Grade running through the center of the sheet suggests the legacy of a timber or industrial corridor that once moved through these wetlands. Significant local landmarks include the Sandhill Cem and the Horseshoe Lookout Tower, which served as a critical vantage point for monitoring the surrounding pine forests and marshlands. To the southeast, Davis Island rises as a distinct feature near the winding path of Fishbone Creek and Station Lake. The map illustrates a period of transition where early industrial transport infrastructure was being reclaimed by the environment, leaving only the graded paths and a few established settlements and landmarks.
