1949 Map of Rice Creek

About this map

Georges Lake dominates the southwestern corner of this area, where the County Boundary between Clay and Putnam counties divides the landscape. This region of Florida is defined by a dense network of watercourses and swampy terrain, with drainages like Greens Creek and Devils Den Cr flowing through the northern sections. The map reveals a transition in land use, showing the woodland areas as they were recompiled in the 1970s based on aerial photography. To the south, the meandering path of Rice Creek and its tributaries, including Falling Branch and Blonia Creek, illustrate the complex hydrology of this low-lying territory before significant modern development altered the drainage patterns of the Florida interior.
