1958 Map of Lee

About this map

Highland karst topography and scattered agricultural settlements define this portion of Madison County. The community of Lee sits at the heart of the map, organized around the railway and central service buildings like the Jr High Sch. The landscape is heavily marked by limestone depressions and basins, ranging from the prominent Lee Sink and Campbell Sink to a network of water bodies including Riggins Lake, Booze Lake, and Cypress Pond. These natural reservoirs and sinks are interspersed with numerous small church communities and burial grounds, such as Mt Olive Ch and Stonewall Cem, reflecting the rural social structure of northern Florida. The Base Line serves as a primary east-west surveying axis, cutting through the wooded and marshy terrain near West Farm and Welch. Flowing through the southern portion, Norton Creek drains several smaller ponds, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region.
