About this map

Brooker sits near the southern edge of this North Central Florida landscape, positioned at a junction of roads and the local creek system. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the New River, which serves as a natural boundary between Union and Bradford Counties before it eventually feeds into the Santa Fe River. This hydrology, including Richard Cr and Fivemile Cr, dictates the layout of the rural road network and the placement of early settlements.

Tracing through the eastern portion of the map, the Florida National Scenic Trail cuts a path through the lowlands, crossing the water near the settlement of New River. Historic local sites like the New River Cem and Dedan Cem offer fixed points for genealogical research near the small communities of Danville and Clayno. The northern reaches include the Department of Corrections Field, illustrating how the land has been managed in the modern era.
