About this map

Knife Hammock and Buck Island rise from the intricate wetlands of Dixie and Lafayette counties, where the landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of Mud Swamp. This modern survey reveals a highly structured network of logging and access roads that penetrate the deep woods, such as La Bennet Grade and Se Roberts Grade. These routes provide essential access for timber management and outdoor recreation within the t7s r11e and t8s r11e sections of the Florida Big Bend region.

Water management is evident in the presence of S Canal Rd and the drainage of Wolf Cr and Eightmile Cr. The terrain varies from the low-lying Rawhide Sag to the denser vegetation of Tooles Bay, illustrating the diverse Florida wilderness before it transitions toward the coast. The map also traces local infrastructure along the county line, including family-named and utilitarian routes like Tar Bucket Rd, Beehive Rd, and Anderson Rd.
