2006 Map of Benton

USGS Topo · Published 2007

About this map

The Suwannee River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Hamilton and Columbia Counties, defining a landscape shaped by both conservation and heavy industry. While the eastern reaches are preserved within the Osceola National Forest and the Pinhook Purchase Unit, the western terrain reveals extensive phosphate mining operations. Large-scale Strip Mine excavations and numerous Tailings Pond features dominate the ground west of Sugar Ridge, contrasting sharply with the forested wetlands along Hogans Creek and Hunter Creek. Local heritage is anchored by rural landmarks such as the Benton Lookout Tower and the small settlement of Benton. Traditional community life is evidenced by country houses of worship, including Prospect Ch near the river and Oak Grove Ch to the south, highlighting the area's dual identity as a site of natural resource extraction and quiet woodland habitation.
