1919 Map of Hilliard

About this map

Hilliard and Callahan serve as the primary rail hubs for this Nassau County landscape during the late 1910s, where three major lines intersect to transport timber and passengers. The Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line, and Southern Ry create a triangular rail network that anchors small settlements like Dyal, Crawford, and Kent. The terrain is defined by an extensive system of wetlands, including Wilder Swamp and Boggy Swamp, which fed the regional timber economy evidenced by Hodges Mill and Nelsons Mill.
