About this map

The community of Oxford and the historic settlement of Royal anchor this mid-1960s survey of the Central Florida interior. The landscape is a distinct mix of agricultural clearing and native vegetation, characterized by prominent features like Long Hammock and several small water bodies including Nichols Pond and Gator Pond. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad runs vertically through the center of the sheet, serving as a primary transit artery for the region during this era.

Genealogists will find significant local value in the numerous recorded burial sites and religious centers, such as Crum Cem, Pine Level Cem, and Royal Memorial Cem, alongside New Jerusalem Ch and Pedro Ch. The map also captures several industrial and recreational sites typical of the time, including scattered Quarry operations, a Sandpit, and youth-oriented locations like Camp Wildwood and Camp Universe.
