About this map

Lake Miccosukee dominates this part of the Florida Panhandle, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and scattered agricultural settlements along the border of Jefferson and Leon Counties. The town of Monticello sits at the southeastern edge of the map, serving as a focal point for a network of rural roads that connect smaller hamlets like Lois, Casa Blanco, and Montivilla. The terrain is characterized by numerous water bodies, including Raineys Lake, White Pond, and Perkins Plantation Pond, many of which appear to be integrated into the local plantation and timber history of the region.

Transportation patterns follow long-established routes, with the Waukeenah Hwy and Mahan Dr cutting through the countryside. To the north, the small communities of Jarrett, Alma, and Festus are reached via gravel and dirt tracks like W Lake Rd, showing a rural character that remained largely intact in the early twenty-first century. This survey provides a clear view of the drainage patterns from the lake into Wards Creek and Lake Drain, essential for understanding the local topography and historical land use.
