2024 Map of Clara

About this map

The Steinhatchee River carves through the convergence of Taylor, Dixie, and Lafayette Counties, anchoring a landscape defined by wetlands and freshwater springs. This modern topographic view highlights the small settlements of Clara and Tennille, which sit along the primary road corridor through this rural pine and swamp country. To the north, Steinhatchee Spring and Iron Spring emerge near the riverbanks, illustrating the hydrological character of the region. The map reveals an extensive network of timber and access roads, such as Jones Grade Rd and S Canal Rd, which crisscross the low-lying terrain near Mud Swamp. For those tracking the natural geography of the Florida Panhandle, the Lower Steinhatchee Conservation Area Trl provides a clear path through protected lands, while smaller tributaries like Kettle Creek and Eightmile Creek feed into the main river system.
