About this map

Cherry Lake and the northern outskirts of Madison define this part of Florida's north-central corridor as it appeared in the early 21st century. The landscape is characterized by a high density of sinkhole lakes and depressions, ranging from the prominent Garden Pond and Dobson Pond to uniquely named features like Ocean Hole and Hankins Sink Pond. These water bodies are interspersed with low-lying wetlands such as Caulk Flats and the curiously labeled Devils Woodyard in the southwestern corner.

Social and cultural landmarks are scattered throughout the rural landscape, including the Saint Thomas Ame Church and the Four Freedoms Trl, which provides a modern connection through the area. Local road names like NE Rocky Springs Church Rd and NE Captain Buie Rd hint at the family-centered settlement history of the county. The map also records numerous smaller water features like Ginkhouse Pond and Armstrong Pond, reflecting the complex hydrology typical of this karst terrain.
