1955 Map of Lamont SE

About this map

The Aucilla River carves a winding path through the lowlands of north Florida, serving as a natural boundary between Jefferson, Madison, and Taylor counties. In the mid-1950s, this landscape was defined by its scattered rural institutions, where small settlements like Lamont and Eridu anchored a network of timber and agricultural interests. The map reveals a dense concentration of family and community landmarks, particularly north of the river near Anderson Bay. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented, including Anderson Cem, Walker Cem, and Henderson Cem. The presence of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad and schools like Allison Sch and Green Grove Sch speaks to the established social fabric of the era, while scattered Borrow Pits indicate ongoing infrastructure development in this corner of the Florida panhandle.
