About this map

Miccosukee serves as a central hub on the border of Leon and Jefferson counties, characterized by a transition from agricultural fields to the marshy expanse of Lake Miccosukee. The 1963 landscape is dotted with small rural communities like Wadesboro, Baum, and Concord, each anchored by foundational institutions such as the Concord School and several country churches, including Centenary Church and New Jerusalem Church.

A network of named roads like Magnolia Road and the Old Miccosukee Road navigate a terrain defined by numerous small water bodies, including Shemonie Lake, Gum Pond, and Lake Alberta. The presence of a Lookout Tower and a Landing Strip near the town center indicates the area's mid-century management of forest resources and local aviation. This survey provides a distinct record of the north Florida panhandle before significant modern development, showing the proximity of settlements to the cypress-lined basins and the seasonal variations of the local wetlands.
