2012 Map of Genoa

About this map

Genoa and the surrounding Hamilton County landscape are defined by a network of rural roads and historical settlement nodes that reflect the area's timber and agricultural heritage. This 2012 survey illustrates a topography of low-lying wetlands and creek drainages, with Swift Creek meandering through the central portion of the quadrangle. Distinctive local identifiers such as Blacks Still, Camps Still, and Purvis Still point to the historic naval stores industry once prevalent in this part of Florida. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including Barton Cemetery and Poole Pond Cemetery. The presence of the Christie Lookout Tower in the north and the landform known as Pine Island highlight the managed forest environment, while the proximity of Belmont near the northern border anchors the local geography.
