About this map

The winding Econfina River defines the drainage of this Taylor County landscape, flowing through a low-lying terrain of wetlands and hammocks. Established as a revision of a mid-1950s survey, the area reflects a sparsely settled part of the Florida panhandle where water governs the geography. The presence of Oakland Ch serves as a lone community landmark amidst a network of small watercourses like Rose Creek and Regular Creek.

To the north, the eponymous Johnson Hammock provides a distinct area of slightly higher ground or dense vegetation, separated from the surrounding marshy levels by Cabbage Grove Creek and Natural Well Branch. This 1993 edition maintains the topography of the 1954 planetable surveys while updating the cultural and hydrological features, documenting a quiet coastal-plain environment characterized by its numerous small creeks and branches.
