Anything that was there was gone long, long ago. Looking at the 1964
track charts of the area, there was very short house track at Amazonia

side of Pacific Jct-St Joe main. Water Works is 5 miles south just
inside Buchanan County (where St Joe located). The track chart shows a
industry track at Water Works.
