1966 Map of Worthington Springs

About this map

Worthington Springs sits at the confluence of the Santa Fe River and New River, serving as a central hub for the surrounding rural communities of Union, Bradford, and Alachua counties in the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by the Atlantic Coast Line railroad and a network of timber and agricultural sites like Browns Still and Dekles Millpond. Numerous country churches and family burial grounds are distributed across the terrain, including Little Springs Ch, Harmony Ch, and the Bethany Cem. Small settlements like Dukes, Miller, and Bland represent the dispersed nature of Florida's interior north of Gainesville during this era, before major interstate development altered the local transit patterns.
