About this map

Putnam Prairie and Ashley Prairie dominate this north Florida landscape, where a dense network of water bodies defines the local geography. The settlements of Putnam Hall, Florahome, and Grandin are situated along the Southern railroad line, reflecting a development pattern tied closely to rail transport in the mid-20th century. At the southern edge of the map, the Seaboard Coast Line passes through Interlachen, a key regional hub characterized by numerous small lakes such as Chipco Lake and Mariner Lake.

Social and community landmarks are scattered across the terrain, including Abaline Ch and a local Cem near the Clay County and Putnam County border. The intricate variety of wetlands, from the large Goose Lake and Brantley Lake to smaller basins like Oldfield Pond and Trotting Pond, highlights the region's complex karst-like hydrology before modern drainage or heavy residential expansion changed the character of these lakefronts.
