2012 Map of Cross City East

About this map

Cross City serves as the focal point of this Dixie County landscape, where the flatlands of the Florida Big Bend are defined by a complex network of wetlands and historic timber routes. The town is flanked by the Cross City Airport and the Airport Canal, while the surrounding terrain is a mosaic of open spaces such as Tenmile Prairie, Delaney Prairie, and Fish Prairie. To the northwest, the Steinhatchee Wildlife Area preserves the native character of the Gulf coastal plain. The distribution of numerous water bodies like Ocean Pond and Bodiford Pond, alongside the prominence of the Holly Hill Lookout Tower, suggests a landscape traditionally managed for forestry and conservation. Named tracks like Wilson Tram Rd and Cannonfield Rd further hint at the region's historical reliance on transit through the pine flatwoods and swamps.
