About this map

Fayetteville anchors the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, situated along a prominent bend in the Elk River. The landscape transitions from the river valley southward across the broad expanse of Pear Ridge toward the smaller settlement of Lincoln near the Flint River. This area is marked by a high density of family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure, including numerous cemeteries like Wells Hill Cem and Simms Cem.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and social fabric is found at the Rozells Mill site on the Rozells Mill Branch and the Macedonia Ch. The mapping also highlights the era's transportation and recreation, showing the Florida Short Line Route cutting through the center and sites like Camp Dunroamin and the Fayetteville Municipal Airport. The many hollows and springs, such as Keith Spring Hollow and Locker Spring, indicate a terrain defined by its complex drainage and local water sources.
