About this map

The settlement of Eddy anchors this 2012 study of the Baker County landscape, situated along a linear transit corridor that cuts through a complex network of wetland features. The terrain is defined by numerous named rises and island-like formations that suggest a low-lying, swampy environment where geography dictates habitation. Distinctive features like Mims Island, Rough Island, and Crews Island rise above the surrounding hydrology, providing a clear record of how dry ground was named and utilized in this corner of Florida.

Water moves through the region via named drainages such as Moccasin Cr, Cross Br, and Lake Holes Br. Local road networks, including Moccasin Creek Cir and Eddy Rd, follow these natural contours. The presence of colorful place names like Moonshine Ridge, Rattlesnake Island, and The Horseshoe reflects a deeply rooted local nomenclature tied to the specific bends and ridges of the northern Florida backcountry.
