About this map

Black River and its intricate network of tributaries, including Stony Run Br and Nancy Br, define the landscape of this portion of Lee and Sumter Counties. The settlement pattern is characterized by several historic intersections, most notably Saint Charles and Elliott, which served as local hubs for the surrounding agricultural community. The map reveals numerous family-named landmarks and water bodies, such as Minnie Deschamps Pond and Mattie Js Pond, which often indicate long-standing land ownership and historical property boundaries.

Rural life in the early 21st century is captured through the persistence of small crossroads like Wells Crossroads and Rhodes Crossroads. The inclusion of the Wells Cem and the extensive Atkins Drainage Canal provides researchers with specific points of interest for genealogical study or an understanding of local water management and land use. The road network, including Saint Charles Rd and Luckey Rd, connects these scattered settlements across the low-lying terrain.
