About this map

The coastal marshlands of Red Level and the intricate labyrinth of the Crystal River estuary are meticulously detailed in this mid-century survey. Along the eastern edge, the settlement of Red Level sits near 19 and 98, centered around the Red Level Cem and Mt Olive Ch. Evidence of local industry and ancient habitation appears side-by-side, with active Mines situated just north of archaeological features like the Shell Mounds and an Indian Mound near the riverbanks.

Transitioning toward the Gulf of Mexico, the landscape dissolves into a complex network of tidal creeks and islands. Major waterways such as the Salt River and South Pass wind between named landforms like Fort Island, Negro Island, and Burtine Island. Navigational markers, including numerous Daybeacons, highlight the maritime importance of the area, while the Yankeetown Town Boundary marks the northern extent of this amphibious Florida landscape.
