1954 Map of Greenville

About this map

The Greenville community serves as the primary hub of this North Florida landscape, where the flatlands of eastern Jefferson and Madison Counties meet. This survey captures a rural network of churches and family cemeteries that defined the social geography of the era, including New Zion Ch, St Mathews Ch, and St Paul Ch. Waterways dictate the terrain's layout, with the Aucilla River and Little River winding through the northern reaches, while the southern section is drained by Rocky Creek and Alligator Creek. A notable landmark of forest management and surveillance, the Aucilla Lookout Tower, stands prominently above the low-lying basin. The map also reveals the importance of local groundwater and infrastructure through features like the Flowing Well and several distinct burial grounds, such as New Hopewell Cem and Andrews Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research into the region's long-established families.
