1945 Map of Lake Wimico

About this map

Lake Wimico dominates this low-lying coastal landscape at the end of World War II, serving as a central drainage point for a complex network of bayous and creeks. The western edge of the map reveals the industrial footprint of the era, marked by the Apalachicola Northern rail line and the Niles Tramroad, which, alongside numerous logging tracks, indicate a landscape heavily defined by timber extraction and transport. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the northern section, passing the small landmark of Clay Cut as it connects the inland waters.
