2024 Map of Live Oak East

About this map

Live Oak serves as the focal point of this North Florida landscape, where the urban grid of the city meets the marshy basins and prairies of eastern Suwannee County. The map documents a territory defined by its cemeteries and rural communities, from Rixford in the north to Houston in the southeast. Natural features such as Horse Prairie and Gum Slough suggest the low-lying, water-dependent character of the terrain, while larger bodies like Workman Lake and Dexter Lake dot the pine-and-oak woodlands. The presence of several historic church grounds, including Antioch Baptist Church Cem and Saint James A M E Church Cem, offers significant research value for genealogists tracking family roots in the region. Conservation efforts are evident along the northeast corner near the Suwannee River, where the Woods Ferry Conservation Area Trl and Deer Lake Preserve protect the river corridor's ecology.
