1957 Map of Espanola

About this map

Espanola and the nearby settlement of Neoga anchor this coastal Florida landscape, where development is defined by the drainage of low-lying wetlands. The map reveals an intricate network of waterways and infrastructure projects, including the Intracoastal Waterway and the St Joe Canal, which carve through the dense terrain of Pringle Swamp and Hulett Swamp. Local life centers around features like St Pauls Ch and the town Athletic Field, while the Railroad and the Old Brick Road represent the primary transportation corridors of the mid-20th century.
