About this map

The Aucilla River and its tributary, the Little Aucilla River, define this landscape along the boundary of Jefferson and Madison counties. This mid-century survey reveals a rural network of small communities and family landmarks, where the Southern Railroad Grade cuts through the western timberlands. The area is marked by numerous houses of worship, including Shiloh Ch and New Canaan Ch, often situated alongside community burial grounds like the Redding-Hammock Cem.

Hydrological features are central to life here, with the distinctive Blue Sink and Hundred Acre Pond dotting the terrain. For local historians, the placement of the Little Rock Sch and Hamburg Sch offers a look at the mid-century educational landscape. The terrain itself, from the rises of Mays Island to the curiously named Devils Woodyard, reflects the varied and water-influenced geography of this North Florida region.
