1954 Map of Dunnellon SE

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The ambitious and ultimately failed Cross Florida Barge Canal project dominates this mid-century landscape through the Proposed Gulf Atlantic Ship Canal (Abandoned), which cuts a distinct horizontal swath across the terrain. This survey, based on 1950s data, reveals a Marion County interior defined by wet prairies and hammocks before the onset of modern suburbanization. To the south, the Withlacoochee River forms the boundary between Marion and Citrus counties, while the local community is anchored by the Cedar Grove Ch. The map captures a moment of transition in aviation and land use, documenting the Dunnellon Airport (Abandoned) and its Beacon, alongside established agricultural holdings like the Circle Square Ranch. Diverse water features such as Ross Pond and the Leroy Ponds dot the area, illustrating the complex hydrology of Ross Prairie and the surrounding woodlands of Adams Hammock.
