About this map

The Suwannee River carves a winding path through this North Florida landscape, marking the natural boundary between Suwannee and Lafayette counties. Along its banks, numerous natural springs including Running Springs, Convict Spring, Owens Spring, and Mearson Spring dot the shoreline, highlighting the unique karst topography of the region. The interior is characterized by scattered rural communities like Whitfield and Midway, supported by a network of local institutions such as Pine Grove Ch, Airline Ch, and the Lady Land Sch. Transport history is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the northern section, while numerous ponds and lakes like Townsend Pond and Sears Lake define the southern terrain. This mid-century survey reveals a settlement pattern centered on high ground between the river and the marshy lowlands of Tenmile Hollow.
