1955 Map of Fargo SW

About this map

The Suwannee River snakes southward through this mid-1950s survey of the Florida-Georgia borderlands, defining the boundary between Hamilton and Columbia counties. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling wetlands of Sandlin Bay and the smaller Bear Bay, interspersed with numerous small ponds and lakes such as Brown Lake. Settlement is sparse in this water-rich environment, with the rural Hopewell Ch and a Lookout Tower serving as the primary community landmarks.
