About this map

Bryceville and the surrounding Nassau County timberlands are defined by the linear path of the Seaboard Air Line railroad during the mid-1960s. Small rail-side communities like Dahoma, Verdie, and Ingle dot the corridor, which runs north-south through the dense pine stands of the Cary State Forest. The landscape is a mosaic of wetlands and working forests, notably where the Brandy Branch Swamp and Crosby Bay interrupt the sandy flats.

A notable military presence is anchored at the southeastern corner of the quadrangle by the U.S. Naval Air Station (Whitehouse Field). While much of the terrain is marked by timber industry features like the firebreak and jeep trail networks, local landmarks such as a Lookout Tower, a small Cem, and the Sunowa Springs Camp provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of this rural Florida interior.
