1953 Map of Geneva

About this map

Geneva and Chuluota anchor this survey of the St. Johns River basin during the mid-20th century. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrologic network, where the Econlockhatchee River and numerous tributaries like Mills Creek and Jackson Creek drain into the sprawling waters of Lake Harney and Puzzle Lake. The map reveals a significant concentration of indigenous earthworks along the river margins, including the Palmer Taylor Mound, Noah Mound, and Buck Point Mound, indicating the long history of human occupation in these wetlands.
