1955 Map of Yankeetown

About this map

The Withlacoochee River serves as the focal point for this coastal Florida landscape, where the settlements of Yankeetown, Crackertown, and Inglis are concentrated along its banks. The map documents the intricate hydrology of the area, featuring numerous small waterways such as Turtle Creek, Smith Creek, and Thousandmile Creek that drain into the dense wetlands of Gulf Hammock. A notable human-engineered feature is the Cross Florida Barge Canal, which cuts across the southern portion of the sheet near the boundary between Levy and Citrus Counties.
