1949 Map of Wilson

About this map

Mosquito Lagoon dominates this coastal landscape, separating the mainland from the slender barrier islands that front the Atlantic Ocean. In this late 1940s survey, the area is defined by a sparse network of camps and groves rather than dense development. The settlement of Wilson sits at a crossroads near the Haulover Canal, a critical link for the Intracoastal Waterway. To the north, Dummit Grove and the small station of Dummit are established near the marshy fingers of Dummit Creek.
