1955 Map of Yankeetown

About this map

The Withlacoochee River defines the southern reach of this coastal Florida landscape, serving as the border between Levy and Citrus counties. Inland from the Gulf, the environment is dominated by the dense wetlands of Gulf Hammock and Cedar Hammock, where numerous small waterways like Turtle Creek and Thousandmile Creek snake through the terrain. The established settlements of Yankeetown and Inglis anchor the riverfront, while Crackertown and the Botts Field landing strip illustrate the area's mid-century rural development.
