🚂🌊 A Look Back at Florida’s Travel History!
Check out this historic map of the Plant System — a vast network of railways and steamship routes that connected Florida, Georgia, and even Cuba in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
What’s especially fascinating? Many of these early railways and river routes followed the same natural corridors that shape Florida today — including the St. Johns River, the state’s longest river. 🌿
Before highways existed, the St. Johns River served as a major transportation lifeline. Communities, trade, and travel relied on this slow-moving, north-flowing river long before the rail lines were built. 🚢
Today, the St. Johns River Water Management District works to protect the very lands and waters that supported these early routes — ensuring healthy waterways, restored wetlands, and resilient ecosystems for future generations. 💧✨
Florida’s history runs right through our rivers.
And we’re proud to help protect them. 💙
