About this map

Wakulla Springs anchors the northern portion of this 1970s landscape, where the waters of the Wakulla River flow eastward toward the St Marks National Wildlife Refuge. The map captures a transition between the dense timber of the Apalachicola National Forest and the emerging residential tracts of Wakulla Gardens and Hyde Park. Small rural communities like Shadeville and Ivan are documented through their focal points, notably Salem Ch and Ivan Ch.

A distinctive feature of this survey is the identification of private land lines established by the subdivision of the Forbes Purchase, shown alongside natural features like Cherokee Sink and McBride Slough. Local-history researchers can find numerous small churches, including Beulah Ch and Thessalonia Missionary Ch, reflecting the area's established social fabric before the major suburban expansion of the late 20th century.
