1963 Map of Ellisville

About this map

Ellisville and the surrounding rural landscape of northern Florida appear here during the early 1960s, a period defined by quiet agrarian settlements and a network of named country roads. This interior region is anchored by numerous community landmarks, including Everybodys Tabernacle, Bethlehem Ch, and Old Providence Ch. The map provides excellent genealogical detail through several family-named burial grounds like Farnell Cem, Hawthorne Cem, and Kerce Cem. To the east, the landscape transitions toward the Columbia and Union County line, marked by the winding paths of Olustee Creek and Swift Creek. Transportation is characterized by the Southern railway line in the northeast corner and a grid of local routes such as Lutheran Cross Road and Backnon Witt Road, which connect smaller locales like Myrtis and Mason to the larger crossroads at Ellisville.
