1954 Map of Salem SW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Salem Lookout Tower stands as a primary landmark in this 1954 survey of the Florida Gulf Coast interior. The landscape is characterized by its complex hydrology and low-lying depressions, including California Sinks, Minom Sag, and Coker Sag. Transportation history is clearly etched into the terrain, showing the active Atlantic Coast Line railroad alongside evidence of older infrastructure such as the Old Railroad Grade. This transition of rail use suggests a shifting economy as the region's timber and natural resources were accessed and moved. Isolated water sources like Dallis Waterhole and small drainages such as California Creek and Begins Creek define the navigation of this marshy expanse, providing essential details for those tracing the historical geography of Taylor County.
