About this map

The Suwannee River carves a winding path through the heart of the North Florida landscape, marking the boundary between Hamilton and Suwannee counties. This 2015 record shows the transition from the municipal center of Jasper in the northwest toward the historic water-focused settlement of Suwannee Springs. The area is characterized by a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Mount Pisgah Cem, Nunn Cem, and Mitchell Cem, which serve as vital touchstones for genealogical research in these rural townships.

Transportation corridors like SE US Highway 41 and US Highway 129 S connect the scattered communities of Hillcoat, Marion, and Suwannee, while the Florida National Scenic Trail follows the river's edge. Notable water features like Bell Pond and Rees Lake punctuate the drainage basins of Cat Cr and Mitchell Cr, illustrating the hydrology that has long influenced settlement patterns and land use in this part of the Florida Panhandle.
