1969 Map of Morriston

About this map

Morriston and Montbrook serve as the primary nodes of activity in this rural pocket of Florida, where the landscape is defined by the Levy Co Marion Co line. The map captures a moment in the late 1960s where transportation infrastructure was in flux, evidenced by the prominent Old Railroad Grade and Old RR Grade cutting vertically through the center of the sheet. To the west, Lake Stafford sits near Plummers Cem, highlighting a region characterized by karst topography and numerous small depressions. In the northern reaches, the Williston Municipal Airport and a nearby Quarry indicate the area's industrial and logistical role for the surrounding county. Local history is further preserved through the locations of rural burying grounds, including Pleasant Hill Cem, which remains a fixture near the county boundary.
