About this map

Apalachicola National Forest dominates this 1970s landscape, where the flatwoods of Wakulla County are defined by a complex network of wetlands and small watercourses. The drainage patterns of Cow Swamp and Lost Creek are punctuated by named depressions like Ditch Bay, Mud Bay, and Grimes Bay. The western edge of Crawfordville is visible on the eastern margin, showing a transition from the town center to the dense woods and timberlands of the national forest.

Industrial and transport history is recorded through the Old Railroad Grade and active extraction sites like the Quarry near the town's edge. Local genealogy is well-represented by several rural burial grounds and churches, including Council Cem, Oak Park Cem, and Mt Olive Ch. The mapping of landmarks like the Pope Stiff Lookout Tower and Lawhons Mill reflects the region's reliance on both forest management and traditional water-powered industry.
