1945 Map of Lake Wimico

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Lake Wimico dominates this low-lying coastal landscape during the final years of World War II, showing a region defined by its water-dependent transport and timber extraction. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the northern wetlands, featuring the prominent Clay Cut, while the Apalachicola Northern railroad tracks skirt the southern edge of the survey. The interior is a complex network of winding waterways like Searcy Creek and Horseshoe Creek, where the presence of an Old Logging RR and an active Logging RR indicates the intensive industrial forestry of the 1940s. Moving toward the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico, names like Depot Creek and Columbus Bayou mark the transition into the dense marshes of the Florida panhandle.
