About this map

Suwannee River carves a winding path along the boundary between Hamilton and Suwannee Counties, defining the lower portion of this landscape. The rural character of the area is evidenced by a network of small churches and family burial grounds, including Mt Pisgah Cem, Nunn Cem, and Peterson Cem. Near the river, Suwannee Springs serves as a local landmark, accompanied by the Suwannee Springs Ch.

Industrial activity appears in the eastern reaches, where a large Strip Mine and Tailings Pond disrupt the traditional agricultural and woodland patterns. Transportation history is recorded through the Old RR Grade and the legacy of the Stage Road, while the Tallahassee Base Line provides a significant surveying anchor across the center of the map. Small settlements like Marion and Hillcoat remain small crossroads, situated among numerous water bodies such as Rees Lake and Basin Swamp.
