1956 Map of Limestone

About this map

Horse Creek and its broad, marshy floodplain dominate the center of this rural landscape as it appeared in the mid-1950s. The terrain transitions from the small settlement of Lily in the north to Pine Level and Lansing in the south, straddling the Hardee Co De Soto Co line. The infrastructure of the era is clearly defined by the Seaboard Air Line railroad corridor, which serves the community of Limestone and passes by Kinsey. A significant detail for genealogists is the documentation of Oak Hill Cem (Abandoned), noted as abandoned at the time of the survey, alongside Oak Hill Ch. The map also captures the local drainage patterns of the Peace R watershed, including named tributaries like Brandy Branch, Buzzard Roost Br, and Walker Creek.
