1954 Map of Gainesville

About this map

Gainesville serves as the inland anchor for this mid-century look at North Central Florida, a region defined by its diverse wetlands and slow-moving rivers. The map illustrates the hydrological connection between the interior and the Gulf of Mexico, as the Suwannee River and Steinhatchee River wind through the extensive Mallory Swamp toward Suwannee Sound. Along the coast, intricate features like the Pepperfish Keys and Tater Island are charted alongside the Cedar Keys Wilderness and NWR.
