1955 Map of Sycamore

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Forbes Purchase boundary lines define the southern landscape of Gadsden County in the mid-1950s, where small settlements and rural congregations are connected by a web of creeks and timbered ridges. This survey illustrates a period of agrarian transition, centered on Sycamore and the rail-oriented Greensboro at the eastern edge. Local life is anchored by country churches like Pine Grove Ch and St James Ch, alongside the Salem Sch. The topography is deeply dissected by drainage systems including Flat Creek, Yon Creek, and Telogia Creek, which create the winding, hilly terrain that characterizes this part of the Florida Panhandle. The presence of the Apalachicola Northern railroad through the southeastern corner highlights the importance of rail transport for the region's timber and agricultural exports during this era.
