1953 Map of Intercession City

About this map

Intercession City and the northern reaches of Reedy Creek Swamp define this Central Florida landscape during a period of transition. The map captures the corridor where the Seaboard and Coast Line railroads intersect, a critical junction for regional transport. While much of the terrain is dominated by the vast drainage systems of Reedy Creek and Davenport Creek, several named islands rise from the wetlands, including Smokehouse Island, Cane Island, and Orange Grove Island, hinting at earlier agricultural or homesteading attempts in the cypress strands.
