1949 Map of Fiftone

About this map

Cecil Naval Auxiliary Air Station dominates the eastern landscape of this late 1940s survey, showing the military infrastructure footprint along the Duval and Clay County line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Yellow Water Creek and the North Fork Black Creek, which carve through the low-lying Florida pine lands. Small settlements like Fiftone and Moore sit along the Seaboard Air Line railroad, reflecting the importance of rail transport to these rural communities. Local life is centered around rural landmarks such as Long Branch Ch and Mt Zion Ch, which serve as anchors for the scattered homesteads. The presence of numerous named branches, such as Sol Taylor Creek and Caldwell Branch, highlights the intricate drainage patterns of the region before significant modern development.
