1954 Map of Mallory Swamp SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The vast, wet interior of North Florida's Big Bend region is defined by the expansive Mallory Swamp, which dominates this 1950s topographic study along the boundary between Lafayette and Dixie Counties. The landscape is a complex drainage network characterized by seasonal watercourses like Eightmile Creek and Wolf Creek, which thread through low-lying terrain. Elevated points of interest include Buck Island and the stretch of Knife Hammock, offering dry ground amidst the surrounding wetlands. Further east, the curious topography of Rawhide Sog and Tooles Bay illustrates the subtle variations in the Florida karst and swamp environment before the era of widespread modern drainage and development. The map preserves a moment when the region remained largely undeveloped, accessible primarily by unimproved trails and forest tracks.
