About this map

The Aucilla River and Little Aucilla River define the wetlands of the Florida Panhandle on the border of Jefferson and Madison counties. This landscape is characterized by its numerous named water bodies, ranging from the open water of Sneads Smokehouse Lake to the secluded Old Fern Pond and Blue Pond. The small settlement of Ashville serves as a local hub, anchored by the Ashville Lookout Tower and a series of rural spiritual centers.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community landmarks, including Jerusalem Ch, Macedonia Ch, and Sanctified Ch clustered near the northern boundary. The presence of Bethel Sch and Old Greenville Ch further west suggests the historical reach of local parishes and school districts. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Reed Branch Swamp to the slightly higher ground of The Flat, illustrating the drainage patterns into Gum Creek and Lake Logan.
