1955 Map of Waccasassa Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The Gulf Hammock region of Levy County dominates this mid-century coastal survey, revealing a complex network of freshwater and saltwater drainage where the Waccasassa River and Wekiva River meet the Waccasassa Bay. This landscape is defined by its transition from inland sloughs like Watch Chain Slough and Chicken Slough to the labyrinthine islands and tidal creeks of the Gulf of Mexico. Human presence is sparsely marked by isolated outposts such as Camp D, Camp E, and Williams Camp, indicating a landscape largely utilized for hunting, timbering, or fishing rather than permanent settlement. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade cutting across the northern half of the map provides a tangible link to the area's industrial history, likely serving former logging operations that once moved through the dense coastal wetlands toward the river outlets at Staffords Island River and Crooked River.
