1955 Map of Yankeetown

About this map

Yankeetown and the neighboring settlements of Crackertown and Inglis anchor this coastal landscape where the Withlacoochee River meets the Gulf of Mexico. The map reveals a complex hydrologic network of tidal creeks, including Smith Creek, Thousandmile Creek, and Helverson Creek, winding through the Waccasassa Bay State Preserve. To the north, the vast Gulf Hammock State Wildlife Management Area dominates the terrain, punctuated by features like Big Spring and Little Spring.
