1970 Map of Spuds

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Florida East Coast rail lines cut through the agricultural landscape of St. Johns County, following the western edge of Deep Creek. This 1970s survey captures the rural settlement of Spuds and the smaller community of Byrd, where local life centered around structures like Mt Olive Ch and Emanuel Ch. The map illustrates a transitional landscape where organized drainage and farm roads like Miller Rd and Leonard Rd meet the natural wetlands surrounding Sixteenmile Creek. To the east, the terrain shifts toward Gopher Ridge, marked by a Lookout Tower and multiple clearings for a Landing Strip. The presence of several landing strips alongside the railroad suggests a landscape deeply tied to both timber and industrial-scale agriculture, providing a detailed record of the region's infrastructure before late-century development.
