About this map

Lake Octahatchee and the meandering Withlacoochee River define this rural landscape on the Florida-Georgia border during the early 21st century. The map centers on the small settlement of Octahatchee, where a grid of modern residential streets and loops, such as NW 21st Cir and NW 34th Blvd, has begun to expand around the lake. This development contrasts with the surrounding agricultural and wooded tracts that remain largely defined by county roads like Co Rd 152 and Co Rd 145.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant interest in the preservation of several rural burial grounds, specifically McCall Cem and Blair Cem, which are tucked away from the main thoroughfares. The presence of the Squires Aviation Ranch Airport in the southern portion of the quadrangle highlights the continued importance of private aviation and ranching infrastructure in Hamilton County. This 2012 survey provides a clear look at the intersection of traditional land use and newer residential subdivisions.
