Description
This detailed survey of Township 30S, Range 21E, which includes today's Pinecrest and Lithia, shows several interesting features. Note the "Road to Tampa" clearly marked, and note 3 specific homestead permits (Numbers 258, 297 and 252) clearly marked on this road. A field in one permitted section is delineated, likely cleared by a settler for farming purposes. The Alafia River and tributaries are clearly marked. There are several notations for black jack soil, a clay based soil that can be improved for agriculture.
