2005 Map of Olustee

About this map

Olustee Battlefield Hist Site stands as a significant landmark in the northeast, marking the location of Florida's largest Civil War engagement within the broader expanse of the Osceola National Forest. This 2005 revision shows a landscape dominated by the managed pine flatwoods and cypress heads of the Olustee Experimental Forest and the vast Ocean Pond. The small community of Olustee serves as the primary hub, situated near several historic burial grounds including Dyess Cem and Monument Cem. To the south, the terrain transitions into a complex of wetlands and water bodies such as South Prong Swamp and Palestine Lake, highlighting the hydrologic connectivity of the region before it reaches the Baker and Union County line. The presence of the Osceola Ranger District and Hog Pen Landing Hunt Camp underscores the area's continued use for federal land management and seasonal recreation.
