About this map

Lake City and the surrounding North Florida landscape are defined here by a dense network of forest, swamp, and agricultural research during the early 1980s. The Osceola National Forest dominates the central portion of the map, anchored by Ocean Pond and the Olustee Battlefield State Historic Site. To the north and west, the iconic Suwannee River carves through the terrain near the Stephen Foster State Folk Culture Center and White Springs.

Transit and industry are represented by the crossing of the Seaboard Coast Line and Georgia Southern and Florida railroads, which facilitated movement through towns like Live Oak and Macclenny. The map also captures specialized land uses, from the Univ of Florida Suwannee Valley Experimental Station to the Strip Mines and Mine Dump scattered near the Suwannee border, illustrating the intersection of conservation and heavy industry.
