About this map

The Seaboard Coast Line railroad dictates the settlement pattern of this rural Wayne County landscape, with a string of small communities clustered along the rail corridor. In the late 1970s, Broadhurst, McKinnon, and O Neal served as localized hubs for a region characterized by extensive wetlands and drainage systems. The hydrologic network is dominated by the meandering Penholoway Creek and its tributary Little Penholoway Creek, which feed into the broad expanse of Cypress Swamp to the east.

Genealogists and local historians can find several distinctive burial sites, including the Old German Cem and Rogers Cem, tucked away near the Union Hill Ch. The presence of the Lookout Tower and a network of unpaved tracks like Purdom Road and Star Road reflect the area's timber-focused economy and rural character. The map also records localized features like Duck Pond and Piney Bay, providing a clear look at the landscape before modern intensification.
