About this map

The Suwannee River forms the northeastern boundary of this Lafayette County landscape, where the flatwoods terrain is punctuated by numerous solution ponds and bays. Scattered settlements like Day and Mayo Junction serve as local anchors for a network of county roads. The map highlights several family-named landmarks and historical sites, including Roger Cem and Dees Cem, providing significant points of interest for genealogists tracing regional lineages.

Evidence of the area's agricultural and aviation history appears at the Fort Atkinson Plantation Airpark near Fort Atkinson Lake. Large wetlands such as San Pedro Bay and Stanton Bay dominate the western portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Suwannee Valley. The transition from the rural community of Buckville in the south to the settlement of Chancey in the north captures the persistent timber and farming character of this Florida panhandle interior.
