About this map

Wakulla River flows through this 1970s landscape, bordering the massive expanse of the Apalachicola National Forest to the west and the St Marks National Wildlife Refuge to the south. The area reflects a rural Florida interior defined by small community nodes such as Shadeville, Ivan, and the fringes of Crawfordville. These settlements are anchored by numerous country churches, including Salem Ch, Ivan Ch, and St Pauls Ch, which serve as vital genealogical markers for the region's heritage.

The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features like McBride Slough and the distinctive Cherokee Sink, illustrating the karst topography typical of this part of the state. Developed pockets such as Wakulla Gardens and Hyde Park appear alongside the resource-driven landscape of numerous Sandpit sites, while the Tallahassee Meridian provides the primary north-south surveying anchor for the township and range lines.
