About this map

The Suwannee River snakes along the western edge of this Florida landscape, defining the boundary between Lafayette Co and Suwannee Co. This karst-heavy region is notable for its high concentration of groundwater features, including Blue Spring, Thomas Spring, Charles Spring, and Allen Mill Pond Spring. These natural outlets were historically vital for local settlements and remain key landmarks in the rural geography.

Settlement patterns are concentrated in the north around Dowling Park and Lancaster, while the southern reaches near Dell are more dispersed. Genealogists can locate two distinct burial sites on this sheet: Mims Cem in the northeast and Head Cem further south. The land is gridded by a dense network of local roads and sections, with the Lower Suwannee River Trl following the river's bend, offering a glimpse into the transport and recreational paths of the early 21st century.
