About this map

Mikesville and Ellisville anchor this northern Florida landscape where the borders of Columbia, Alachua, and Union counties converge. The geography is defined by complex subterranean water systems, most notably the Santa Fe River and the River Sink, which illustrate the area's karst topography. The landscape is dotted with unique hydrographic features like Buzzard Roost Prairie, Robinson Sinks, and Hogpen Pond, highlighting the intersection of swampy lowlands and pine flatwoods.

Genealogists will find several rural burial grounds preserved in this modern survey, including Saint John Cem, New Hope Cem, and Damascus Cem. Conservation efforts are visible through the extensive network of the River Rise Preserve State Park Trl and O'leno State Park Trl, which protect the sensitive river rise areas. The presence of settlements like Bland and numerous family-named roads reveals the persistent rural character of this region south of Lake City.
