1955 Map of Waukeenah

About this map

Waukeenah serves as a central hub in this north Florida landscape, where a network of rural roads connects scattered agricultural communities during the mid-20th century. The area is defined by its numerous small-scale water systems, including Bailey Mill Creek and Cooksey Branch, which drain into several named basins like Lake Catherine and Shadow Lake. The social fabric of the era is clearly visible through the density of community landmarks, such as St Rilla Sch and Pine Grove Ch. A distinctive Base Line bisects the terrain, marking a critical reference for surveyors and property boundaries. Further north, the settlement of Drifton and the nearby Drifton Branch sit along the primary rail line, illustrating the importance of transport links to these inland Florida settlements. Researchers will find a high concentration of country churches, including Sardis Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and Bethel Ch, each serving as a historical anchor for local families and genealogy.
