1955 Map of Mayo SE

About this map

The Suwannee River carves a deep, winding path through the borderlands of Suwannee Co and Lafayette Co, serving as the central artery for this mid-century Florida landscape. The terrain is defined by its karst hydrology, featuring numerous notable water sources like Royal Spring, Running Springs, and Convict Spring. These springs, along with Mearson Spring and Owens Spring, reflect the unique limestone geology of the region during the mid-1950s. Rural life is anchored by community landmarks such as Pine Grove Ch, Lady Land Sch, and the Church of God. An Old Railroad corridor and the Grade hint at earlier industrial or logging transport networks that once traversed the area. The small settlement of Midway and various family-named sites like Sears Lake and the Elliott Cem provide specific points of interest for those researching local genealogy or land use patterns in this riverine corridor.
