About this map

Suwannee River carves a winding path through the southern reaches of this landscape, marking the natural boundary between Hamilton and Suwannee counties. This North Florida region is defined by its numerous water bodies and low-lying wetlands, including Basin Swamp near Jasper and the smaller Bell Pond. The local topography is punctuated by spring-fed creeks and localized lakes like Rees Lake, which support the rural communities of Hillcoat, Marion, and Suwannee Springs.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the cultural imprint of the area through several established burial grounds, such as Nunn Cem, Mitchell Cem, and the Mount Pisgah Cem. The map documents a transportation network ranging from established routes like SW 90th Blvd to more localized paths such as Loop Rd, reflecting a landscape where the river and its tributaries like Sugar Cr and Ratliffe Cr remain the dominant geographic features.
