About this map

The town of Lawtey serves as the central hub of this 1970 survey, bisected by a prominent rail corridor and highway system that connects it to the smaller settlements of Highland and Saxton. This North Florida landscape is defined by the geological presence of Trail Ridge, an elevated sandy feature that runs vertically through the quadrangle. The eastern section of the map reveals the extensive grounds of Camp Blanding, marked by its Military Reservation Boundary.

Heavy industrial activity is visible near the ridge line, indicated by large Tailings Ponds and a complex network of pipelines. Local heritage is anchored by the Lawtey Cem and the Anderson Sch, providing specific touchpoints for genealogical research. Waterways like Alligator Creek and Water Oak Creek drain the surrounding terrain, which is otherwise marked by various forestry and lookout structures including a Lookout Tower near the northern boundary.
