About this map

Wolf Sink and the nearby Big Wolf Arbor anchor the southern reach of this mid-1950s interior Florida landscape. The terrain is defined by a high density of named water features, reflecting the karst topography and drainage patterns characteristic of the region. Notable bodies such as Fletcher Pond, Hog Pond, and Sage Pond are clustered across the northern half, while Shine Pond, Fourmile Pond, and Fivemile Pond appear toward the east. The drainage system is further marked by the winding courses of Black Prong and Magee Branch. This period of mapping shows a sparsely developed area, largely comprised of wooded wetlands and low ridges before later 20th-century alterations. The presence of numerous named sinks and ponds offers a detailed view of the natural hydrology that dictated the placement of early logging roads and boundary lines like the division between T. 13 S. and T. 14 S. townships.
