About this map

The Aucilla River and its many tributaries, including Little Aucilla River and Wolf Creek, dominate this mid-century landscape on the boundary of Jefferson and Madison Counties. The area is defined by its rural church and cemetery network, serving the communities of Greenville and Aucilla. Small community hubs like New Zion Ch and St Mathews Ch are scattered throughout the pine-heavy terrain, alongside family burial grounds such as Andrews Cem and Hensey Cem.

Transportation is anchored by the junction of the Seaboard Air Line and the Southern railroads, which cross the Base Line surveying marker. The presence of the Aucilla Lookout Tower reflects the importance of timber and fire management in this section of Northern Florida. This 1954 topography reveals a landscape where the Flowing Well and local creeks provided the primary drainage for a region still heavily dependent on its rail connections and agricultural roots.
