1954 Map of Cross City West

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The low-lying wetlands of Pumpkin Swamp dominate this mid-century survey of Dixie County, Florida. In the southeastern corner, the settlement of Cross City appears as the primary hub of activity, closely flanked by the community of Shamrock. This area shows a transition from the structured street grids of the towns into the surrounding marshlands, where the industrial legacy of the region is visible through its transportation networks. The Atlantic Coast Line railroad cuts diagonally across the landscape, while an Old Railroad Grade further south indicates earlier timber or freight routes that once penetrated deeper into the swamp. To the northwest, the small settlement of Hines is marked by the presence of the Hines Lookout Tower, a critical landmark for monitoring the expansive and fire-prone pine and cypress territories that characterize this section of the Florida Gulf coastal plain.
