1969 Map of Morriston

About this map

The Seaboard Coast Line railroad forms the spine of this Levy County landscape, cutting a straight path through the settlements of Montbrook and Morriston. The terrain is defined by the expansive Lake Stafford to the west and a series of smaller depressions and karst features typical of north-central Florida. Near the northern boundary, the Williston Municipal Airport occupies a large clearing, while several small quarries dot the area, suggesting local lime rock extraction. Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved here, including Plummers Cem tucked away near the lake and Pleasant Hill Cem located near the Levy Co Marion Co line. The presence of a Jeep Trail in the northeast quadrant highlights the more sparsely developed woodlots that characterize the region's agricultural and rural nature during the late 1960s.
