About this map

Gress Swamp dominates the central portion of this mid-century survey, a low-lying landscape defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and wetlands on the border of Jefferson and Madison counties. The settlements of Aucilla and Lamont anchor the rail infrastructure of the day, where the Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line traverse the pine-and-cypress terrain.

Rural community life is evident through a high concentration of country churches and family burial grounds. Notable landmarks for local historians include Turkey Scratch Ch, Mt Marille Ch, and Friendship Ch, along with the Scruggs Cem and Mt Marille Cem. The topography is shaped by various branches and creeks, such as Dixie Branch and Buggs Creek, which drain toward the Aucilla River in the southeast.
