1961 Map of Deep Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Osceola National Forest dominates this section of Columbia County, Florida, where a landscape of wetlands and pine flatwoods is defined by its water systems. In the early 1960s, the area's timber history is visible through an extensive network of jeep trails and remnants of an old railroad grade that once facilitated the local logging industry. The small settlement of Greenfield sits near the center, marked by a nearby Lookout Tower used for fire detection across the expansive cypress bays. Water flows south toward the Suwannee River through several major drainage systems, including Deep Creek, Falling Creek, and Sandy Drain. The map documents numerous swampy basins known locally as bays, such as Turtle Bay, Otter Bay, and Logging Bay, illustrating the wet, low-lying character of this northern Florida terrain. For genealogists, the survey records a remote cemetery and Church Pond, providing specific points of interest in an otherwise sparsely populated forest.
