About this map

The Buttahatchee River dominates this mid-1960s landscape, winding through a broad floodplain that separates the rolling uplands of Monroe County. Small rural settlements like Rye and Bluff are connected by a network of light-duty and unimproved roads, serving a community defined by its local institutions. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Sartor Cem, Marchbanks Cem, and Sullivan Cem, are scattered throughout the hills, providing valuable data for genealogical research.

Industrial activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pit operations near the river and the presence of Gas Wells to the south. Notable landmarks such as the Lookout Tower near the Grub Springs Ch and the Glenhaven Roadside Park suggest a mix of forestry management and public infrastructure. The drainage system is remarkably dense, with creeks like Honnoll Mill Creek and Mormon Spring Branch carving the topography and influencing the early settlement patterns visible here.
