1954 Map of Day NW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

San Pedro Bay dominates this mid-century landscape in Taylor County, characterized by an extensive wetland environment and subtle elevation changes. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the winding course of the Fenholloway River, which serves as a primary drainage feature for the surrounding swampy terrain. This 1954 survey captures the area before significant modern drainage or development, highlighting the natural hydrological patterns of north Florida. Industrial activity of the era is evident along the southeastern edge where the Southern railroad line cuts through the marshy lowlands. Local landmarks like the Spoil Bank indicate historical earth-moving or canal-clearing activities, providing insight into early attempts to manage this water-heavy landscape for timber or transit.
