About this map

Lake Butler serves as the focal point of this North Florida landscape, sitting at the junction of several regional routes and the upper reaches of the New River. The town's grid is established south of its namesake lake and Lakeside Park, while the surrounding Union County countryside is defined by a network of drainage features like McKinney Br and large wetlands such as Granny Bay. The 2012 geography reveals a mix of small settlements including Johnstown and Danville, connected by an extensive system of numbered county highways and local roads.

Genealogists and local historians can find several significant burial sites mapped across the quadrangle, such as Varnes Cem north of town and Little Rock Cem to the east. These landmarks, alongside Dekle Cem, provide specific points of interest for tracing family history in this rural area. The map also highlights natural water bodies like Swift Creek Pond and the winding course of Swift Cr, illustrating the hydrology of the Floridian interior during the early 21st century.
