1944 Map of Socrum

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Socrum and the surrounding wetlands of the Blackwater Creek basin define this Central Florida landscape during the mid-1940s. The settlement pattern is concentrated in the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, where the community of Kathleen sits near the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. A notable detail of the era's infrastructure is a secondary rail line marked as Under Construction, cutting diagonally through the marshy terrain toward the northwest. The map captures the social hubs of these rural communities, including the Bethel Ch and the small station at Millard. Large portions of the area remain dominated by cypress heads and swamps, particularly where the borders of Pasco, Polk, and Hillsborough counties meet, illustrating the challenging terrain that dictated early development and transport routes in this region.
