1949 Map of Penney Farms

About this map

Penney Farms serves as the central hub for this Clay County landscape, where the planned community's layout is clearly defined against the surrounding Florida wetlands. The presence of Memorial Homes and the Penney Farms Sch reflect the town's unique heritage as a model farm and retirement colony founded in the early 20th century. By the mid-century period, the map documents the transition of local infrastructure, noting the Penney Farms Landing Field (Aban'd) and a Substation near the town center. Outside the city limits, the terrain is dominated by the intricate drainage of the Black Creek South Fork and its tributaries, including Greens Creek and Ates Creek. Further east, Pass Station marks a specific point of interest along the rail and utility corridors that linked these interior settlements to the larger regional network.
