1954 Map of Jena

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Steinhatchee River defines the western edge of this mid-century Florida landscape, marking the natural boundary between Taylor and Dixie Counties. The small settlement of Jena sits near the river's bend, supported by the Jena School and nearby Steinhatchee Cemetery. The interior terrain is characterized by expansive wetlands, including Pumpkin Swamp and Pine Log Swamp, revealing a coastal plain that remained largely undeveloped during this era. An Old Railroad Grade and a highway marked as Under Construction cut through the pines near Jonesboro, signaling the transition from timber-hauling rail to modern automotive infrastructure. For local historians, the placement of Mingos Cemetery and the McCain Lookout Tower provides specific points of interest for tracing early 20th-century homesteads and forest management.
