1954 Map of Manatee Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Suwannee River carves the western boundary of this landscape, separating Dixie and Levy counties. The area is defined by its significant karst hydrology, where features like Manatee Springs and Willow Sink indicate a complex subterranean water system. Within Manatee Springs State Park, the spring-fed waters transition into the river near Lower Clay Landing. Moving inland, the terrain opens into the Piney Prairie, a landscape dotted with numerous ponds such as Sand Pond, Drummond Pond, and Bonnet Pond. This 1950s era survey, with updates from the 1980s, highlights localized cultural sites including Antioch Cem and the Long Pond Ch near the banks of Long Pond. The presence of a Quarry and scattered cemeteries suggests a quiet, resource-dependent rural life typical of north-central Florida during the mid-20th century.
