1918 Map of Macclenny

About this map

Macclenny and its surrounding timber and agricultural lands are shown here as they were surveyed in 1917. The landscape is defined by the prominent Trail Ridge and the complex drainage of the St Marys River, with its North, Middle, and South Prongs creating a natural border between Florida and Georgia. This era reveals a network of rural schoolhouses and churches that served as community hubs, including Chism School, Macedon Church, and Hicks Church. The agricultural character of the region is evident through specialized sites such as Suggs Still, Griffin Nursery, and the Glen St Mary Nursery. Transportation is anchored by the Seaboard Air Line and the Georgia and Florida RR, which facilitated movement through the pine woods and across the river at Smith Bridge and Stokes Bridge.
