1955 Map of Withlacoochee Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Withlacoochee Bay and the surrounding coastal marshlands of Levy County dominate this mid-century coastal survey. The map records a complex hydrologic landscape where the Gulf Hammock meets the Gulf of Mexico, defined by a labyrinth of tidal creeks such as Thousandmile Cr, Sandfly Cr, and Tooke Creek. Toward the southern boundary, the Withlacoochee R empties into the bay, anchoring the maritime activity at Port Inglis. This port, alongside the Yankeetown line, highlights the era's navigation through Bungalow Pass and East Pass. Landward, small outposts like Pitts Camp and TFD Camp suggest the remote fishing and hunting character of the region. The map also meticulously charts hazardous marine features, including the Waccasassa Reefs and Withlacoochee Reefs, essential for understanding the historical coastal geography of this stretch of the Florida panhandle.
