1949 Map of Middleburg

About this map

The confluence of the North Fork Black Creek and South Fork Black Creek defines the historic settlement of Middleburg, a central hub in Clay County at the mid-century. This 1949 survey, with revisions from 1970, illustrates a landscape defined by its waterways, where Black Creek meanders toward Doctors Lake. The map details the local infrastructure of the era, from the Seaboard Coast Line railroad near Doctors Inlet to the Foremost Airfield further south. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of rural congregations, including Black Pond Ch, Peoria Ch, and New Macedonia Ch. Industrial traces are also evident, such as the Kilns (Abandoned) and associated ruins near the shoreline, pointing to earlier manufacturing or resource extraction along the riverbanks.
