1960 Map of Rock Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Withlacoochee River Swamp dominates this landscape on the border of Polk, Sumter, and Lake Counties, reflecting the complex hydrology of Central Florida in the early 1960s. The small settlement of Rock Ridge serves as the primary focal point, anchored by the Little Flock Ch. The area is defined by its transition from high ground to wet lowlands, where names like Hart Hammock and Strand Hammock indicate islands of distinctive vegetation amidst the wetlands. Transportation history is deeply etched into the terrain through various Old Railroad Grade markings that crisscross the swamp, remnants of earlier logging or industrial efforts. These stand in contrast to the active Seaboard Air Line Railroad visible in the upper reaches. Water management is evident through named channels such as Cumbee Drain and Mattress Drain, which suggest a long-standing effort to navigate or reclaim portions of the drainage basin for local use.
