1954 Map of Manatee Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Suwannee River carves the boundary between Dixie and Levy counties, anchoring a landscape defined by its distinctive karst topography. In the mid-1950s, this area centered on the pristine Manatee Springs and the surrounding Manatee Springs State Park, where the subterranean drainage of the Florida aquifer reaches the surface. Away from the riverbank, the terrain is a complex network of solution features and wetlands, including Willow Sink, Cook Sink, and Piney Prairie. Social life in this rural stretch of Florida is marked by the Long Pond Ch and Antioch Cem, while the local economy is represented by a small Quarry. Notable water bodies such as Sand Pond, Bonnet Pond, and the elongated Long Pond punctuate the timbered lowlands, illustrating the hydrological connection between the surface and the limestone depths.
