1949 Map of Middleburg

About this map

Middleburg sits at the vital confluence of the North Fork and South Fork Black Creek, serving as a focal point for this rural Florida landscape in the years following World War II. The map reveals a community deeply tied to its waterways and early industrial roots, evidenced by the Rideout Ferry crossing and abandoned kilns near Doctors Inlet. While the Atlantic Coast Line railroad cuts through the northeastern corner, the interior remains defined by sprawling creek systems like Bradley Creek and Log Mill Creek.
