1954 Map of Eugene

About this map

Eugene serves as the primary settlement on this Dixie County landscape, situated near the headwaters of California Creek and the southern edge of Long Pond. The interior terrain is dominated by the dense, marshy expanses of California Swamp and the elevated vegetation of Old Town Hammock. This mid-century survey, based on 1950s planetable work with later 1980s aerial revisions, documents a rural environment where infrastructure like Radio Towers and the Perpetual Wildlife Management Area sit alongside established community landmarks. Researchers will find significant local genealogical interest in the presence of Prospect Ch and nearby burial grounds, specifically Long Pond Cem and Lee Cem. Further south, the landscape transitions into the isolated Davis Island, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this coastal Florida region.
