About this map

Gulf Hammock dominates this part of Levy County, characterized by a complex network of waterways like the Waccasassa River and Wekiva Creek. The landscape is defined by its transition from wooded hammocks to watery sloughs, with the Atlantic Coast Line railroad cutting a sharp diagonal across the terrain. At Lebanon Station, the rail line intersects with local infrastructure near the Lebanon Lookout Tower, marking a vital point of transit and observation in the mid-20th century.

Evidence of earlier eras persists in the presence of an Old Railroad Grade and several historical river access points including Peeks Landing, Gunn Landing, and Old Plantation Landing. The social fabric of the rural community is anchored by Mt Erie Ch and Mt Moriah Ch, which stand as landmarks in the otherwise dense swamp and forest lands. The map also records early industrial activity through several Quarry sites and a Borrow Pit near the rail corridor.
