About this map

Nigger Jim Scrub dominates the central portion of this 1950s landscape, illustrating the scrubland and hammock terrain characteristic of the Florida interior. Water drainage patterns define the region, with Cypress Creek winding through the center and Nubbin Slough cutting across the southern sections near Jones Hammock. The presence of a Levee and private water management features in the northeast suggests early efforts to control the hydrological flow of the area.
