1956 Map of Fort Lonesome

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Little Manatee River and its numerous tributaries, including Howard Prairie Branch and Alderman Creek, dominate this mid-century landscape across the Hillsborough Co Manatee Co line. While most of the terrain consists of undeveloped woodland and wetlands, small community hubs are evident at Ft. Lonesome and around a localized Trailer Park. To the north, the headwaters of the South Prong Alafia River pass near Hurrah Lake and Hurrah Bay, highlighting a region defined by complex drainage and isolated prairie branches. For genealogists and local historians, the placement of Fellowship Ch and Hurrah Ch provides critical evidence of social centers in this rural interior, while family-named water bodies like Pierce Branch and Lewis Branch suggest early landholder influence.
