About this map

The Suwannee River and Alapaha River converge in this northern Florida landscape, defining a region where water and wilderness dictate the pace of life. Near the Hamilton and Suwannee county line, the Florida National Scenic Trail winds through the terrain, tracing the riverbanks and passing near Pittman Oaks Airport. The area is characterized by its scattered water features, including Eleven Ponds and Cypress Pond, which highlight the porous limestone topography of the region.

Local history is preserved in small rural centers and burial grounds such as Adams and the namesake Fort Union. Genealogists and historians can locate the New Hope Cem and West Lake Cem north of the river, providing vital touchstones for family research in this part of the state. The presence of the Florida Sheriffs Boys Ranch Airport further identifies this as a community-focused landscape near the border of two historic Florida counties.
