1954 Map of Red Level

About this map

Red Level stands as the primary settlement on this coastal Florida landscape, situated near the intersection of Highway 19 and Highway 98. The map reveals a transition from inland industrial activity, including several Mines and a prominent Powerplant with its associated conveyor, to the intricate wetlands of the St Martins Marsh Aquatic Preserve. History is visible in the physical landscape through the presence of Indian Mounds and Shell Mounds located near the banks of the Crystal River and Salt River. To the north, the massive Cross Florida Barge Canal cuts a straight path toward the Gulf of Mexico, contrasting with the winding natural reaches of Bennetts Creek and Johns Creek. Local genealogy and community life are anchored by the Mt Olive Ch and Red Level Cem situated along the highway corridor.
