Description: A map of Bloxham County showing the proposed county
lines, the proposed county seat (Williston), railroads, canals
and principal auto routes connecting the major cities current to
1917. Bloxham County was a proposed county in Florida named for
Governor William D. Bloxham, and was to incorporate lands from
Levy and Marion Counties. The state legislature passed a bill in
1914 establishing the county, however voters failed to approve
the proposal by referendum (1915), and therefore existed on
paper only. Source: C.O. Sylvester Mawson, Geographic Manual and
