About this map

The Georgia Florida Line bisects this mid-century landscape, separating Jefferson County from Thomas County along a rural border dominated by water and wood. The drainage of Connell Creek and the meandering Aucilla River define the terrain, feeding numerous named water bodies like Madre Pond and Lake Fontaine. This map captures a social geography anchored by a dense network of country churches, including Macedonia Ch, Mt Homer Ch, and Olive Ch, which served as the primary gathering points for the dispersed population near Everett and Dills. Local family history is preserved through sites such as Mallette Cem and Little Flock Cem, while education is represented by Union Sch and Elizabeth Sch. The distribution of these community markers illustrates the rural settlement patterns before modern consolidation altered the southern borderlands.
