2024 Map of Hatchbend

About this map

The Suwannee River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Lafayette, Dixie, and Gilchrist counties, anchoring a landscape defined by small settlements and family burial grounds. In the north, the community of Hatchbend sits near its namesake Hatch Bend Cem and the Old Hatch Bend Cem, reflecting generations of local residency. The terrain is dotted with distinctive hydrologic features typical of the Florida karst landscape, including the Rock Bluff Spring, Fletcher Spring, and Guardian Spring along the riverbanks, alongside numerous isolated water bodies like Cow Pond and Fish Pond.
