About this map

Ancilla River flows along the border of Jefferson and Madison counties in this mid-century survey of the Florida panhandle. The landscape is defined by extensive wetlands, including the sprawling Gum Swamp and numerous seasonal drainages like Buggs Creek, Raysor Creek, and Beasley Creek. The settlement of Lamont serves as a local crossroads in the south, while Aucilla sits to the north near a Jr High Sch.

Genealogists and local historians will find several named community landmarks, such as Turkey Scratch Ch and Mt Marille Ch, which is accompanied by Mt Marille Cem. The map provides a clear look at the rural infrastructure of the era, from the straight line of the Base Line survey to family-named sites like Scruggs Cem and Anderson Cem. Smaller water features like Mill Pond Creek and Lake Jackson further illustrate the hydrology of this low-lying region before modern development.
