About this map

Thomasville serves as the focal point of this mid-1970s survey, showing a well-established regional hub defined by its medical, educational, and transportation infrastructure. The cityscape is anchored by massive facilities such as Archbold Memorial Hospital and the sprawling Southwestern State Hospital, while a high density of schools like the Sewell Vocational Center and Magnolia Jr High Sch point to steady mid-century growth. The Seaboard Coast Line and SCL tracks bisect the landscape, providing the industrial backbone for the region.

Local history is preserved in numerous legacy sites, including the Old Cem, Magnolia Cem, and the Hebrew Cem near the town center. Beyond the urban grid, the map transitions into the drainage basins of Oquina Creek and Hammonds Creek. Notable landmarks such as the Glen Arven Country Club and Cherokee Lake illustrate the area's developed recreational landscape, while the outlying settlement of Newark remains visible to the east.
