About this map

Mallory Swamp dominates this mid-1950s landscape, spanning the border between Lafayette and Dixie Counties. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of wetlands, bays, and hammocks, including the curiously named Deserters Hammock in the northwest. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by isolated sites like McElvain Camp and Cow Camp, which likely served the regional timber or cattle interests of the era. To the southeast, the geography becomes defined by a cluster of named water bodies such as Matthis Lake, Cemetery Lake, and Governor Hill Lake. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of Pleasant Grove Cem, situated near a concentrated group of lakes like Lord Lake and Barpost Lake. The presence of Mill Pond and Board Pile Bay points to the area's historical reliance on local water resources and timber management in this remote section of the Florida interior.
