About this map

Jackson Bluff and the nearby settlement of Bloxham sit at a strategic crossing of the Ocklockonee River, where the Jackson Bluff Bridge links the eastern and western banks. The landscape is defined by the expansive waters of Lake Talquin, which dominates the southeastern quadrant of the map. Traces of early regional transit are visible in the path of the Old Federal Rd in the north, while the presence of the Ocklawaha Fire Tower and the Hosford Lookout Tower reflects the area's history of forest management and fire surveillance.

Genealogists and local historians can find family-oriented markers such as Friendship Cem and several private or community landings along the lake shore, including Hopkins Landing and Grays Number One Landing. The intricate network of creeks, such as Ocklawaha Cr and Hammock Cr, drains the varied terrain of Leon County, highlighting the rural, water-dependent character of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
