About this map

McAlpin and Pine Mount anchor this Suwannee County landscape during the late 1960s, a region defined by its complex karst topography and agricultural crossroads. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts diagonally through the terrain, connecting small settlements and rural outposts. A high concentration of local houses of worship, including Beulah Hill Ch, Mt Zion Ch, Mt Sinai Ch, and Mt Moriah Ch, suggests a densely networked rural community centered around faith and family.

The geography is dominated by numerous sinks and water bodies like Peacock Lake, White Lake, and Blue Lake, which are characteristic of this part of Florida. Evidence of early infrastructure and local navigation can be traced through Holmes Road and Pleasant Hill Road. Researchers will find significant genealogical value in the locations of the Bethlehem Cem and Little River Cem, situated near the banks of the Little River.
