About this map

Macclenny and the surrounding pine flatwoods of Baker County appear here as they were surveyed just before the end of the Great War. The landscape is defined by the prominent Trail Ridge and the winding course of the St Marys River, which serves as the boundary between Georgia and Florida. This era shows a region built on timber and transport, evidenced by local operations like Suggs Still and Bryces Camp.

Rural life is meticulously documented through a network of family-named schools and churches, including Sparkman Branch School, Canaday School, and the Macedon Church. The rail economy is in full swing, with the Seaboard Air Line and Atlantic Coast Line intersecting at Mattox. Notable local industry is present at the Glen St Mary Nursery and Griffin Nursery, while the northern portion of the map includes a section of the Osceola National Forest.
