1959 Map of Falmouth

About this map

The Suwannee River snakes along the western edge of this 1950s survey, marking the border between Madison and Suwannee counties. This landscape is defined by its karst topography, with significant hydrologic features like Falmouth Spring and Anderson Spring emerging near the riverbanks. The settlement of Falmouth sits in the northeast corner along the Seaboard Air Line railroad, while Dowling Park and Newburn anchor the southern reaches along the Southern rail line. This period of the late 1950s shows a rural region interconnected by these tracks and a network of country churches, including Mt Gilead Ch and St Johns Ch. Genealogists will find value in the presence of several family-named landmarks and the Stroud Cem, which reflect the established communities situated within the pine woods and scattered depressions of the Florida panhandle.
