About this map

Alford serves as the central hub of this north Florida landscape, where the local economy and geography are defined by a unique network of depressional wetlands known as bays and ponds. Small communities like Steele City and Round Lake are interconnected by a system of rural roads and light-duty highways, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with numerous local landmarks including Gilberts Mill and several community churches such as Macedonia Ch and Cypress Creek Ch.

Evidence of the area's agricultural and industrial heritage is visible in labels for the Claypit and historical burial sites like Kent Cem. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Hard Labor Creek basin to more elevated features like High Hill and Oakie Ridge, illustrating the subtle topographic shifts characteristic of the Jackson and Washington County border. The map also documents recreational or residential growth in the south near Compass Lake Hills, alongside numerous named water bodies like Peterson Bay and Merchant Pond.
