2005 Map of Deep Creek

About this map

Osceola National Forest dominates the landscape of this Columbia County survey, revealing a network of swamps, bays, and seasonal drainages. The settlement of Deep Creek and the site at Greenfield provide small anchors of human activity in an area defined by water and timber. The topographic detail shows how the terrain is shaped by numerous low-lying wetland basins, such as Otter Bay, Logging Bay, and Turtle Bay, which are connected by a system of small watercourses including Robinson Creek and Rolling Creek. Landmarks such as the West Tower Hunt Camp and a local Cem reflect the region's historical use for recreational hunting and family heritage. This edition captures the intricate hydrology of the Florida wetlands, with features like Church Pond and Sawgrass Pond illustrating the persistent presence of standing water throughout the forest interior.
