About this map

Hampton Springs sits at the convergence of several waterways in this mid-century survey of Taylor County. The landscape is defined by the Fenholloway River and its numerous tributaries, including Rocky Creek, Woods Creek, and Spring Creek. A notable topographical feature, Thomas Mill Hammock, occupies the central-west portion of the map, suggesting a slightly elevated area of hardwood forest amidst the surrounding lowlands.

Evidence of historical transport and industry is present through the Old Railroad Grade and an Abandoned rail line near the springs. For genealogists and local historians, the Poorspot Cem provides a specific point of interest north of the river. The presence of a Borrow Pit, Gravel Pit, and Sand Pit indicates active resource extraction during the early 1950s, while Waldo Spring and other smaller water features highlight the region's hydrological character.
