About this map

Midway Ch and its associated Midway Ch Cem stand along the northern roads of this landscape, marking a community hub in a region defined by complex karst topography. The area is pockmarked with significant depressions and lakes, including Patterson Sink, Mitchel Sink, and the aptly named Tenmile Pond. These geological features hint at the underlying limestone structure typical of this part of Florida, where drainage often disappears underground only to resurface in the nearby river systems.

To the southeast, the terrain descends toward the Suwannee River, which forms a natural boundary near a local Quarry. Local history and genealogy are anchored by features like Winquepin Cem and Bethel Cr Ch, while the presence of a Lookout Tower suggests the importance of timber resources and fire surveillance in the mid-20th century. Numerous smaller water bodies such as Winquepin Pond and Williams Waterhole further define the rural character of the land.
