1953 Map of Kenansville

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Kenansville anchors the southwest corner of this interior Florida landscape during the early 1950s, serving as a rare point of development in an area dominated by an intricate drainage system. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Bull Creek and its many tributaries, including Tracy Branch and Yoke Branch, which cut through the palmetto and pine flatwoods. The map reveals a pre-industrial hydrological network where water moves through numerous unnamed depressions and swamps toward named basins like Clayhole Pond and Billy Lake. The local transportation is sparse, highlighted by the Canoe Creek Rd, which connects the small settlement to the surrounding cattle country. This survey, compiled from 1951 aerial photography, documents the region before the massive water management projects and residential expansions of the later 20th century, preserving the original names of local waterways such as Raulerson Branch and Hammock Branch.
