1895 Map of Panasoffkee

About this map

Wildwood serves as a critical rail junction in this Central Florida survey, where the Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad branches toward the agricultural settlements of Oxford and Orangehome. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the Withlacoochee River and Tsala Apopka Lake, reflecting a period before modern water control when seasonal wetlands like Jumper Creek Swamp dominated the terrain. Local commerce and transit are visible through small interior hubs such as Coleman and Panasoffkee, positioned along the rail lines and major water bodies.
