1955 Map of Fargo SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Suwannee River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Florida and Georgia, marking a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and timber resources. In the mid-1950s, this area was characterized by the massive Sandlin Bay and Bear Bay, where the low-lying terrain necessitated a network of small creeks like Rocky Creek. The presence of the Lookout Tower suggests a landscape heavily managed for fire protection in a region of dense pine and swamp. Human settlement is sparse, centered around local landmarks such as Hopewell Ch and industrial activity at the Sandpit. A unique historical marker, the Watson Line, runs across the landscape, representing the long-contested boundary between Georgia and Florida that shaped the early surveying and political history of these border counties.
