About this map

The Dixie County Courthouse stands as a central landmark in Cross City, anchoring this portion of Florida's Big Bend region. The landscape transitions from the developed grid of the city to a mosaic of wetlands and named grasslands, including Tenmile Prairie and Delaney Prairie. These prairie systems, often intermittent water bodies, are characteristic of the local karst topography where drainage is managed by features like the Airport Canal and natural depressions such as Bodiford Pond and Adams Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant points of interest in the rural areas, particularly the Scrub Creek Baptist Church Cem and the Barber Robinson Cem. The settlement pattern follows a network of established county roads and trails, such as Wilson Tram Rd and Fuquay Rd, which weave between numerous ponds and lakes including Booth Lake and Ocean Pond. The presence of the Cross City Airport and the outlying community of Old Town Hammock further illustrates the intersection of mid-century infrastructure and traditional coastal hammock environments.
