1949 Map of Sampson

About this map

Lake Sampson, Lake Crosby, and Lake Rowell dominate the central landscape of this Bradford County survey, forming a significant cluster of natural water bodies south of Raiford. The settlement of Sampson and the Sampson City Sta mark the intersection of critical regional transport lines, where the Southern and Seaboard Coast Line railroads converge near the headwaters of the Sampson River. These tracks once dictated the movement of agricultural goods and passengers through this lake-rich Florida interior.
