2018 Map of Jasper

About this map

The Georgia Florida state line defines the northern boundary of this 2018 survey, where the Little Alapaha River cuts through the wet, forested interior of Hamilton County. The landscape is characterized by numerous bay systems and swamps, including the curiously named Schoolhouse Bay, Buzzard Bay, and the extensive Basin Swamp to the south. Historically significant nodes are scattered across the terrain, from the timber-related name of Kennedy Still to the community at Bakers Mill. The city of Jasper serves as the primary hub, showing a grid of streets and local landmarks such as Evergreen Cem. This contemporary mapping preserves the locations of rural burying grounds like White Chimney Cem and Nunn Cem, which remain vital for family historians tracing North Florida roots. The presence of Roberts Point and Shaky Pond amidst the marshy wetlands illustrates the complex drainage patterns of this river-valley region.
