About this map

The low-lying wetlands of Echols County define this landscape, where the Suwannee River flows along the southern edge of the quadrangle. The settlement of Needmore serves as a central point in a region dominated by distinctive local bay and break features, including Cowhouse Bay, Pierce Camp Bay, and Tiger Lake Break. These names, alongside Cabbage Head and Cowhouse Flats, reflect a long-standing vernacular relationship with the swampy terrain and pine flatwoods of South Georgia near the Florida border.

Waterways like Suwanneechee Cr and Long Br weave through the area, which is segmented by a network of rural routes such as Woodpecker Rte and Old Hwy 94. The map provides a detailed view of specific landforms like Big Island and the junction at Double Bridges, offering researchers a clear look at the drainage patterns and historical road placements that have shaped navigation in this portion of the Suwannee river basin.
