About this map

Lake Miccosukee dominates this landscape in Jefferson County, where the sprawling waterbody meets the drainage of Wards Cr and Caney Cr. The shoreline is punctuated by prominent landforms like Pine Island and Live Oak Point, while the surrounding wetlands and flatlands are dotted with smaller water features such as Perkins Plantation Pond and Norrias Club Pond. The map reveals a network of rural settlements including Festus, Alma, and Jarrett to the north, and Lois and Montivilla further south.

A notable landmark is the Monticello Fire Control Headquarters Fire Tower near the southeastern corner, reflecting the importance of forestry management in this part of Florida. The region's history of land ownership is evident in names like Casa Blanco and various tracts such as Big House, alongside the Lake Drain which manages the southward flow of the water system. This survey preserves the early 21st-century configuration of local roads and plantation-era naming conventions that define the area's rural character.
