About this map

The industrial extraction of phosphate dominates the landscape around Mulberry at the midpoint of the twentieth century. This survey reveals a terrain heavily shaped by mining operations, with numerous areas marked as Strip Mine, Tailings, and Mine Dump surrounding the town and extending toward Prairie. The Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line railroads provide the essential transit infrastructure for this resource-rich region.

Beyond the industrial zones, established rural communities such as Medulla and Highland City remain centered around landmarks like Medulla Ch and Providence Ch. The presence of several family and community burial grounds, including Fitzgerald Cem and Malloy Cem, offers valuable data for genealogical research. The natural hydrology is represented by Scott Lake and the Alafia River headwaters, though many of these water bodies are closely flanked by the levees and slime pits of the local mining industry.
