1952 Map of Oakdale

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Chipola River winds through the heart of this Jackson County landscape, defining a rural corridor shaped by the Louisville and Nashville railroad. The settlement at Oakdale and the nearby crossroads of Simsville anchor a community of family-named landmarks and country institutions. This 1952 survey preserves the locations of numerous small burial grounds and places of worship that serve as vital markers for local genealogy, including the Pelt Cem, Elder Cem, and Holly Grove Ch. Educational sites are well-documented, showing both the active Magnolia Sch and the Little Rocky Creek Sch (Abandoned), illustrating the shifting social geography of mid-century Florida. From the elevations of Pittman Hill to the wetlands surrounding Clair Pond, the map details a terrain of creeks and branches supporting a timber and agricultural economy just before the onset of modern development.
