2018 Map of Ashville

About this map

Ashville and the surrounding borderlands of Jefferson and Madison counties are defined by a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies that dominate the landscape. The northern reaches near the community are dotted with distinctive features like Sneads Smokehouse Lake, Sessions Pond, and Shehee Lake. These scattered ponds and lakes are often linked by drainage through areas like The Flat and Gum Swamp, which feeds into Gum Creek. This 2018 survey reveals a modern rural structure where small private airfields like Finlayson Farm Airport coexist with local residential pockets such as Jefferson Landings. The southern portion of the quadrangle is largely influenced by the meandering path of the Little Aucilla River, while specialized agricultural and transport routes like Ashville Hwy and Pinckney Hill Farms Rd connect the isolated homesteads and farmland of the Florida Panhandle.
