About this map

Wausau serves as a central hub in this section of Washington County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands, ponds, and small creeks. The terrain transitions from higher ground at Mud Hill and Sexton Hill toward a low-lying southern basin dominated by Gap Lake and Gin Lake. This survey illustrates a complex water system, ranging from the Sodom Swamp in the northwest to the larger Mobile Swamp and Gap Lake Swamp.

Family and community history is preserved through scattered burial grounds like Leigh Cem, Barfield Cem, and White Oak Cem, while the industrial past is hinted at by the Griffin Mill Pond and Gravel Pit Rd. The map also captures modern recreational routes, including the Florida National Scenic Trl and the Econfina Creek Paddling Trl, which navigate the dense pine and hardwood stands surrounding distinctive features such as Devils Clay Hole.
