1954 Map of Fivay

About this map

The Pithlachascotee River and the Anclote River headwaters define this landscape in Pasco County, where the low-lying terrain is punctuated by numerous sinkhole lakes and wetlands. The small settlement of Fivay, accompanied by the Fivay Cem, sits at a junction of regional transport, while Greenfield and Gowers Corner mark other early hubs of activity. The Seaboard Air Line railroad cuts through the eastern portion of the map, illustrating the importance of rail transport for this part of Florida in the mid-1950s. Water features are the dominant landmarks, ranging from larger bodies like Crews Lake and Moon Lake to seasonal drainages such as Cabbage Slough and Jumping Gully. This survey provides a clear look at the rural character of the region before the extensive suburban development of later decades, preserving the locations of local landmarks like Bethel Ch and Pierce Lake.
