2021 Map of Gold Head Branch

About this map

Lowry Lake and the intricate karst topography of north-central Florida dominate this modern survey, where numerous sinkhole lakes are connected by a web of conservation trails. The landscape transitions between Clay Co and Putnam Co, marked by significant natural features like the Devils Wash Basin and the winding Gold Head Branch. Notable for recreation and transit, the area is traversed by the Florida National Scenic Trl and the Etoniah-Goldhead Roadwalk Trl, which navigate through a mosaic of wetlands and sandy ridges. Historical points of interest include the Gadara Cem and the settlement area near Oldfield Pond, offering a detailed look at how residential development has integrated with the region's unique hydrography. The concentration of named water bodies such as Gator Bone Lake and White Sands Lake reflects the area's geological character and long-standing importance for local water resources.
