1956 Map of Nocatee

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Peace River meanders through DeSoto County, defining a landscape shaped by both water and rail transportation during the mid-20th century. The settlement of Nocatee serves as a local hub, situated where the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and Seaboard Coast Line Railroad intersect. This junction, combined with the presence of an Old Railroad Grade to the west, illustrates the evolution of Florida's freight and passenger networks. To the north and west, the terrain is dotted with small bodies of water like Bee Gum Lake and Johnson Lake, alongside tributaries such as Joshua Creek and Horse Creek. Rural life is anchored by local landmarks including Mt Efen Ch and the Owens Cem, providing specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in the orange groves and flatwoods of south-central Florida.
