1955 Map of Withlacoochee Bay

About this map

Withlacoochee Bay and the northern reaches of the Gulf coast define this mid-1950s survey of the Levy Co and Citrus Co boundary. The landscape is a complex labyrinth of salt marshes and tidal creeks, where the Withlacoochee R meets the Gulf through East Pass and Bungalow Pass. Small-scale maritime activity and seasonal camps are evident at Port Inglis, Pitts Camp, and TFD Camp. The mapping reveals a shoreline heavily influenced by oyster bars and shoals, notably the Waccasassa Reefs and the sprawling Withlacoochee Reefs. Notable landmarks like Deadman Key and Chambers Island provide reference points in a region dominated by water and sawgrass, where the Yankeetown Town Boundary extends into the marshlands.
