1955 Map of Sumner

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Rosewood and Sumner anchor this mid-century survey of the Levy County coast, where the dense hardwoods of the Gulf Hammock meet a complex network of tidal creeks and marshes. The Seaboard Air Line railroad cuts a straight diagonal across the landscape, passing the Suwannee Lookout Tower and Shiloh Cem as it connects these timber and naval stores outposts to the interior. This transition from forest to the Gulf of Mexico is defined by a labyrinth of waterways, including Jacks Creek, Hall Creek, and Porpoise Creek, which feed into the shallow waters of Waccasassa Bay. Offshore, the maritime environment is marked by navigational landmarks like Corrigan Reef and the Waccasassa Reefs, separated by the Big Stake Gap. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of the Florida Big Bend, from the winding path of Florida 347 to isolated coastal points like Tripod Point.
