2018 Map of Jena

About this map

The Steinhatchee River forms a natural corridor through this coastal section of Florida, marking the border between Taylor and Dixie counties. This landscape is characterized by a high concentration of wetland systems, including Pumpkin Swamp, Pine Log Swamp, and Rocky Creek Swamp. These marshes are interspersed with small settlements and family landmarks that define the region's rural character. In the southern portion of the map, the community of Jena sits near the river, while Jonesboro serves as a point of interest further inland. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, such as Mount Olive Cem, Steinhatchee Cem, and Mingo Cem, which provide valuable location data for genealogists tracing families in the Big Bend area. The presence of Ancient Oaks Airport and a network of secondary roads, like River Rd and St Linhatchee Dr, illustrates the modern accessibility of this otherwise water-dominant terrain.
