1955 Map of Sumner

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Rosewood and Sumner anchor the northern landscape of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial forests of Gulf Hammock meet the intricate tidal networks of the Florida coastline. The area is defined by a maze of salt marshes and tidal creeks such as Porpoise Creek, Wilder Creek, and King Creek, which drain into the shallow waters of Waccasassa Bay. In the higher, drier ground to the north, the Suwannee Lookout Tower and Turkey Field stand as landmarks within the timbered terrain. Historically significant sites like Shiloh Cem are preserved on the map, providing essential location data for genealogists. The southern portion of the sheet transitions into the open Gulf of Mexico, marked by maritime hazards and natural features including Corrigan Reef and Waccasassa Reefs, illustrating the transition from the Big Bend's low-lying hammocks to the Gulf's limestone reef systems.
