About this map

San Pedro Bay and the swampy lowlands of northern Lafayette County dominate this landscape, where small agricultural settlements are interspersed among thick cypress bays and pine flatwoods. The community of Day serves as a central hub, surrounded by a network of family cemeteries and rural congregations including Roger Cem, Day Cem, and the Saint Luke Baptist Church Cem. The terrain is defined by its standing water and slow drainage, characterized by numerous named ponds and sloughs like Stanton Bay, Tiger Bay, and the winding Fire Pan Slough.

Transport and land use patterns reflect a history of timber and plantation management, with the Fort Atkinson Plantation Airpark positioned near the center of the quadrangle. Local roads like P and H Rd and Pine Lake Rd navigate around significant water bodies such as Brewer Lake and Bell Lake. Further south, the settlements of Townsend and Buckville anchor the rural landscape, providing a detailed look at the scattered hamlets that define this interior Florida region.
