2018 Map of Cherry Lake

About this map

Cherry Lake serves as the central hub for this Madison County landscape, where the town of the same name overlooks a dense network of ponds and wetlands near the Georgia border. The terrain is defined by its unusual hydrography, featuring unique named sites such as Devils Woodyard and Ocean Hole. The presence of Ginhouse Pond hints at the agricultural history of the region, while landmarks like Caulk Flats and Hankins Sink Pond illustrate the karst-influenced topography of the Florida Panhandle. Transportation routes like the Old Valdosta Hwy and NW Settlement Rd cut through a patchwork of cypress ponds and pine woods, connecting isolated family-named ponds such as Dobson Pond, Peeler Pond, and Armstong Pond. This survey provides a modern view of a rural Florida community where life remains closely tied to the water table and small-scale land divisions.
