About this map

Live Oak serves as the focal point for this north Florida region, showing significant urban development and industrial activity during the mid-20th century. The presence of the Suwannee Mine and an Old Railroad Grade indicates a landscape shaped by extraction and transportation. Outlying settlements such as Rixford, New Hope, and Houston are connected by a network of rural roads, while agricultural history is reflected in names like The Old Bulb Farm.

Social and community life are well-documented through numerous religious and educational sites, including Antioch Ch, Zion Hope Ch, and Douglas High Sch. The map also captures the natural hydrology of the area, defined by the winding Suwannee River to the north and various scattered water bodies like Flamingo Bay, Hare Lake, and Gum Slough. Family and community history can be traced through several burial grounds, notably Antioch Cem and St James Cem.
