About this map

Lake City is the focal point of this North Florida survey, revealing the city's western expansion and the rural settlements of Columbia County as they appeared in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by its karst topography, featuring numerous water bodies like Lake Jeffery, Lake Harris, and Alligator Lake. These lakes are surrounded by a network of established community landmarks, including Jerusalem Ch, Mount Carmel Ch, and the Sisters Welcome Ch.

The survey captures the area's development through institutional features such as Columbia High Sch and Richardson High Sch, alongside civic spaces like Youngs Park and the local Fairground. Rural roads like Brown Road and Troy Rd connect the larger town to outlying points such as Huntsville and Five Points, illustrating the transition from the structured urban grid of the county seat to the sprawling agricultural and residential lands of the interior.
