1949 Map of Keystone Heights

About this map

The Georgia Southern and Florida railroad cuts a diagonal path through this lake-rich region of North Central Florida, anchoring the development of Keystone Heights and the small settlement at Theressa. Water dominates the landscape, defined by a dense cluster of basins including Brooklyn Lake, Lake Geneva, and the expansive Little Santa Fe Lake. The map reveals the early layout of Tibbits Park Palms and the recreational draw of Santa Fe Beach at the southern edge. Along the northern boundary, the presence of Camp Blanding and the Wildlife Management Area suggests a landscape transitioning from active military use to conservation. Aviation history is noted at the Keystone Airpark, while various cemeteries and local landmarks like Lake Bedford Camp offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians.
