About this map

Lake Butler serves as the primary hub of this north Florida region, situated at the junction of several state and county routes. The town is anchored by its namesake Butler Lake, with a network of local streets extending southward towards the Dekle Cem. The landscape transitions from the developed grid of the town center into a mosaic of wetlands and timber tracts, defined by watercourses like Richard Cr and the meandering New River which forms part of the Union Co Bradford Co boundary.

Modern infrastructure is represented by the winding path of the Florida National Scenic Trail, which traverses the terrain from the northwest near Butler Lake down toward the southeastern corner. Small settlements such as Johnstown and Raiford appear along the road network to the east, while rural family heritage is preserved in sites like Varnes Cem and Little Rock Cem. The map illustrates a rural economy still deeply tied to its hydrological features, from McKinney Br to the northern reaches of Swift Cr Pond.
