1945 Map of White City

About this map

White City serves as the primary hub of this Gulf County landscape, situated along the strategic Intracoastal Waterway. The environment in the mid-1940s is defined by a blend of maritime transit and timber industry infrastructure, with a Logging RR and the Old Millville Road cutting through the lowlands. The presence of the St Joe Fire Tower highlights the era's focus on forest management and vigilance over the surrounding pine and cypress stands. North of the settlement, Cypress Creek meanders through the wetlands, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that shaped local development. This map provides a clear record of the intersection between industrial transport and the coastal geography of the Florida panhandle just as the post-war era began.
