About this map

The low-lying wetlands of the Florida Panhandle transition into rural farm and forest land along the boundary of Taylor Co and Lafayette Co. This landscape is defined by its distinct hydrography, featuring numerous "sogs" and bays including Tiger Bay, Big Sog, and Double Run Bay. These names reflect the historical vernacular for the region's unique marshy depressions and saturated forests. The northern portion of the map shows a more developed grid of rural roads, including SW Ford Rd and SW Cherokee Rd, which connect isolated homesteads and community landmarks. Genealogists can find several established burial grounds in this section, such as Bethany Cem, Brown Cem, and Folsom Cem, which serve as permanent records of the families that settled this portion of the Suwannee River valley hinterlands.
