1962 Map of Genoa

About this map

Swift Creek meanders through the heart of Hamilton County, Florida, defining a landscape dominated by timber-related settlements and low-lying wetlands. The rail line of the Southern RR cuts a straight diagonal across the terrain, serving the small community at Genoa and connecting local turpentine or logging operations such as Blacks Still and Camps Still. The presence of several country churches, including Friendship Ch, Spring Branch Ch, and Camp Branch Ch, alongside their associated burial grounds like Spring Branch Cem, suggests a dispersed but well-established rural social network in the early 1960s.
