About this map

The county seat of Jasper serves as the focal point of this North Florida landscape, where the town's core is marked by the Courthouse and a concentration of civic life including Lee High Sch and Evergreen Cem. Situated near the Georgia border, the area's drainage is defined by the Alapaha River and the Little Alapaha River, which meander through a series of cypress bays and ponds.

Smaller rural hubs and industry sites such as Bakers Mill and Kennedy Still illustrate the historic reliance on the region's timber and naval stores. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous family-named burial grounds like Nunn Cem and White Chimney Cem, alongside community landmarks like Hebron Ch and Bright Pond Ch. The terrain transitions from the developed grid of the town to the saturated lowlands of Saw Hill Bay and Schoolhouse Bay.
