About this map

Brooker sits near the southern edge of this North Central Florida landscape, where the rural street grid of Michigan Ave and Charlotte Ave meets the wetland terrain of Mud Swamp. The area is defined by its complex hydrography, notably the New River which flows across the northeast, and the waters of Lake Butler Cr and Richard Cr. These waterways historically shaped the settlement patterns of Bradford and Alachua counties, leaving behind small communities such as Danville and Clayno.

Local history is preserved in sites like New River Cem and Dedan Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this sparsely populated region. The northern portion of the map includes the Department of Corrections Field and Dekles Millpond, illustrating a landscape that balances state institutional use with traditional agricultural and hydraulic features. The presence of numerous small branches like Braggs Br and McKinney Br highlights the low-lying, water-dominant character of the Florida interior.
