About this map

Fort White serves as the focal point of this Columbia County landscape, where the rural character is defined by a network of historic thoroughfares and religious centers. The map documents a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, anchored by the Fort White-Bethlehem Sch and several country churches, including Elim Ch and Tustenuggee Ch. An Old Railroad Grade cuts diagonally through the terrain, marking the path of former industry and transport that once shaped the region's growth.

Transportation patterns are further evidenced by numerous named roads like Herlong Road and Pineville Road, while a Landing Strip near the town center indicates modern aviation's footprint in the late 20th century. This survey, updated with revisions from 1989, provides a clear view of the transition between cultivated areas and the natural woodland of north-central Florida, including sites such as Shiloh Ch and Bethlehem Ch.
