1968 Map of Trenton

About this map

The town of Trenton serves as a focal point in this late 1960s survey, situated at the junction where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad meets local roads in northern Florida. The landscape is defined by the transition between Gilchrist and Levy Counties, marked by numerous karst depressions and water bodies such as Raulison Pond and Spring Pond. Local education and community life are grounded in landmarks like the John Morse High Sch and the County Training School For Boys, providing valuable spatial context for mid-century genealogy. To the southeast, rural crossroads are anchored by the Shady Grove Ch and its adjacent Shady Grove Cem, while the southern edge of the map begins to capture the outskirts of Chiefland. This topographic record highlights the scattered settlement patterns typical of the region before significant modern development altered the rural character of these pine and wetland environments.
