1954 Map of Otter Creek
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Otter Creek and the neighboring community of Ellzey serve as the primary hubs in this mid-century view of Levy County's wetlands. The area is defined by a series of distinct hammocks—raised islands of hardwood vegetation amidst the low-lying marshes—including Rocky Hammock, Devils Hammock, and the northern reaches of Gulf Hammock. Transport and industry are marked by the Atlantic Coast Line railroad and an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to the region's logging history. For the genealogist, several local landmarks provide valuable touchstones, such as Rocky Hammock Ch and Kirkland Cem. This survey, compiled from 1951 aerial photography and 1954 ground surveys, provides a detailed record of the landscape before significant drainage or modern development altered the natural drainage patterns of Otter Creek.
