1954 Map of Fivay Junction

About this map

The Pithlachascotee River and Anclote River headwaters dominate this mid-century landscape in Pasco County, where a network of wetlands and small lakes defines the terrain. The settlement of Fivay Junction serves as a focal point along the Seaboard Air Line railroad, reflecting the importance of rail transport to this inland Florida region. Small community landmarks such as Fivay Cem and Bethel Ch provide essential points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots in the areas around Greenfield and Gowers Corner. The map illustrates a complex hydrologic system, from the Cabbage Slough and Bee Tree Pond to larger bodies of water like Moon Lake and Crews Lake, showing how water dictated the placement of early roads and homesites before the region's later suburban development.
