1954 Map of Nobleton

About this map

The Withlacoochee River carves a winding path along the eastern border of this mid-century Florida landscape, defining the boundaries between Citrus, Sumter, and Hernando counties. The era’s extractive industrial footprint is clearly visible through a dense concentration of phosphate and limestone operations, including Story Mine, Sixteen Mine, and the Ten Cent Mine. These mining sites, alongside numerous scattered quarries, suggest a landscape defined as much by its subterranean resources as its surface hydrology.
