Fl Ghost Towns

This is a site I found.Click onto the town's name and along with a discription of the sight it also names the county it is located in.Hope this gives you a start. But keep in mind, the ghost town could now be on private property. http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/fl/fl.html

We also have our own collection of historical maps available for purchase right here. You may browse them here or search through them for specific keywords here. Category 55 are the maps and you may enter any other keywords you want. The link I posted will show every map we have for 'florida'. Hope you find what you are looking for.

You might try calling the

You might try calling the historical societies for each county you are interested in and see if they have published a list of discontinued post offices. The postal service does not have such a list, but many local historical societies and historical museums have published there own. They will not show communities that did not have their own post office, so for that you'll need to do some map research for those counties. I like to use David Rumsey Historical Map collection at:http://www.davidrumsey.com/

Best of luck to you,
