2024 Map of Jena

About this map

Steinhatchee and Jena sit on opposite banks of the Steinhatchee River in this coastal region of Dixie and Taylor counties. The landscape is defined by extensive wetlands, including Pumpkin Swamp, Pine Log Swamp, and Rocky Creek Swamp, which dictate the placement of local infrastructure. To the north, the small settlement of Jonesboro lies along Co Rd 55, surrounded by a dense grid of forestry roads and county routes. For genealogists and local historians, several key landmarks are documented, including Mount Olive Cem and Mingo Cem, along with Waters Memorial Gardens. The map also captures specialized transit points like Ancient Oaks Airport. The transition from the tidal waters of the river to the interior swamps illustrates the traditional reliance on the river as a focal point for settlement in this part of Florida.
