River Junction

River Junction is the name of the locale south of Chattahoochee where four railroads meet: the L&N, Seaboard, Atlantic Coastline, and Apalachicola Northern (of course today that's all CSX except for the AN). So despite its tiny size it is often displayed prominently on railroad maps and brochures from the mid-20th century. Apparently it also was subject to frequent flooding from the nearby Apalachicola River, as the above photo from 1925 shows.

Here's an aerial view from 1948, so that's a good reference for me. River Jct. is what's represented by the lower level of my layout in the photos from my previous post. On a side note, just a few miles north of here is a very rare natural community known as upland glades. This is the only place in Florida where that community is found.
