About this map

Crawford and Kent define the southern corridor of this Nassau County landscape during the early 1970s, where the intersection of the Southern and Seaboard Coast Line railroads dictated the local economy and movement. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of swampy lowlands and winding waterways, including the prominent Alligator Creek and Deep Creek.

Evidence of historical land use appears in features like Bell Mill Creek, suggesting the site of earlier industry, while the presence of the Kings Road and a Jeep Trail indicates the varied modes of transit through the pine woods and wetlands. Small settlements such as Hodges and the inclusion of named local routes like Irvin Ave and Quail Road provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of this rural Florida interior.
