1969 Map of Benton

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The Suwannee River meanders across the border of Hamilton and Columbia counties, defining a landscape shaped by both natural hydrology and heavy industry. While the settlement of Benton remains a central point of reference, the western portion of the map is dominated by extensive phosphate operations, evidenced by several Tailings Ponds and a large Strip Mine. These industrial features, revised in the early 1990s, contrast with the traditional rural character of the area, where Sugar Ridge and various wetlands like Still Bay persist. Local community life is anchored by small country churches, including Oak Grove Ch, Deep Creek Ch, and Prospect Ch. Numerous watercourses such as Roaring Creek and Little Suwannee feed the main river, highlighting the intricate drainage system of this North Florida region during the late twentieth century.
