1954 Map of Homosassa

About this map

Homosassa River and its intricate network of spring-fed tributaries dominate this mid-century coastal landscape in Citrus County. The settlement of Homosassa is centered near the river's bend, while Homosassa Springs appears to the northeast, marked by its namesake Homosassa Springs water feature. The map captures a transition in transportation and land use, showing an Old Railroad Grade running north-south through the terrain. To the south, the boundary of the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge encompasses the wetlands and tidal creeks like Mason Creek. This survey provides a record of the area's early aviation and extractive history, noting the West Citrus County Landing Field and several inland Quarry and Sand Pits. Local history is anchored by sites like the Stage Stand Cem and the small community of Cutlers.
