1952 Map of Secotan

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Econfina River winds through the wetlands of Florida's Big Bend region in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined more by its natural drainage and timber resources than by dense settlement. The corridor of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad serves as the primary artery through this territory, cutting a diagonal path through the hammocks and swamps. The small community of Secotan stands as a focal point in the eastern portion of the map, anchored by the railway and the nearby BM 48 Secotan Lookout Tower. This tower, a critical piece of fire-watch infrastructure for the region's pine forests, overlooks the confluence of low-lying terrain and Rocky Creek. The sparse distribution of buildings and the dominance of section-line divisions reflect an era when this part of Taylor County was primarily dedicated to industrial forestry and rail-based logistics.
