1945 Map of Fountain

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Fountain and Youngstown anchor this mid-century landscape in Bay County, where the Atlanta and St Andrews Bay railroad cuts a nearly straight line through the pine-laden terrain. This corridor was the lifeblood of the local economy, moving timber and turpentine from the surrounding woods. To the west, the tiny settlement of Vicksburg sits near the winding course of Moccasin Cr, while an Old Tramroad in the south provides a physical record of earlier logging operations that once defined this region. Significant landmarks like the Youngstown Lookout Tower underscore the importance of fire management in these vast forested areas. The map also delineates the Base Line and county boundaries with Washington and Calhoun counties, while isolated water bodies like Open Pond and Bear Pond offer a sense of the natural hydrology before modern drainage alterations.
