1955 Map of Waccasassa Bay

About this map

Gulf Hammock dominates the landscape of this 1955 survey, where the dense coastal wetlands of Levy County meet the brackish waters of Waccasassa Bay. The interior is characterized by a complex network of slow-moving water bodies like Cabbage Slough and Chicken Slough, alongside the meandering courses of the Waccasassa River and Wekiva River. This mid-century view shows the area as a largely wilderness terrain punctuated by isolated outposts such as Camp D, Camp E, and Williams Camp, which likely served the local logging or hunting communities of the era.
