About this map

Ichetucknee Springs and the headwaters of the Ichetucknee River anchor the northern landscape of this region where Suwannee, Columbia, and Gilchrist counties meet. The survey reveals a terrain defined by groundwater interactions, featuring numerous karst-related water bodies such as Sampson Lake, Tussel Pond, and Clear Pond. Transportation patterns revolve around established rural routes like Old Bellamy Rd and SW Old Spanish Rd, which suggest the deep historic roots of the transit corridors through north-central Florida. Small rural centers and aviation sites, including Beachville and the Thompson Airfield, are interspersed with family and community landmarks like Ichetucknee Cem and Hunts Cem. To the south, the Santa Fe River winds toward Sandy Point, serving as a natural boundary in a landscape where forestry and agriculture have long shaped the local economy.
