2012 Map of Raiford

About this map

Raiford serves as a focal point for this section of Union County, defined by a landscape where institutional sites and rural settlements meet the winding path of the New River. The area is notably dense with localized history found in small burial grounds such as Sapp Cem, Conner Cem, and Dyal Cem, reflecting the deep familial roots of the surrounding community. To the north and east of the town, the terrain is shaped by the presence of the Prison Cem and the State Prison Field Airport, indicating the long-standing institutional character of the local geography. Natural features like Heilbronn Spring and Water Oak Cr intersect with a grid of rural roads and highways, including Co HWY-229 and Co RD-199. The small clusters of Ellerbee and Heilbronn provide additional points of interest for those studying the settlement patterns of this Florida interior region.
