1970 Map of Pierson

To the south, the expansive wetlands of the Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge begin to dominate, featuring Spring Garden Lake and the isolated Jones Island. Cultural landmarks important for local history and genealogy are clearly marked, such as the Taylor High Sch in Pierson and several rural burial grounds including Purdom Cem and Oakdale Cem. The presence of Swanson Field and various landing strips highlights the reliance on small-scale aviation for this remote section of Florida during the early 1970s.
