About this map

The town of Lawtey serves as the primary hub on this North Florida landscape, situated along the north-south corridor of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. To the south lies the small community of Saxton, while the settlement of Highland sits at the northern edge near the border of Bradford Co and Clay Co. This map captures a significant industrial footprint along the Trail Ridge geological formation, where extensive mining operations are evidenced by a large Mine Dump and a substantial Tailings Pond.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Anderson Sch and a local Cem in the vicinity of Lawtey. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the inactive grounds of the Camp Blanding (Inactive) military reservation, characterized by numerous tracks including a Jeep Trail. The drainage patterns of the area are defined by Water Oak Creek and Boggy Branch, winding through a terrain marked by scattered wetlands and essential utility infrastructure like the Pipeline.
