1968 Map of Hatchbend

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Suwannee River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Lafayette, Gilchrist, and Dixie Counties in this late 1960s survey. The landscape is defined by its karst geography, where water is the primary architect, visible in the numerous springs and ponds such as Fletcher Spring, Guaranto Spring, and Rock Bluff Spring. Local life is anchored by a network of rural churches and cemeteries that trace family histories across the hammocks and prairies, including McCalla Chapel, New Hope Ch, and the Old Hatchbend Cem. The presence of several Quarries and a prominent Jeep Trail suggests an economy and lifestyle tied to resource extraction and the navigable river. Small settlement clusters at Hatchbend and Little Lake City provide the primary residential touchpoints in this limestone-rich terrain, which also features open expanses like Careless Prairie.
