About this map

Low-lying wetlands and scattered waterholes define this section of Taylor County, where the landscape is marked by unique hydrographic features like Minom Sog and Coker Sog. The northern portion of the quadrangle is drained by California Cr and Bevins Cr, with the notable California Sinks providing a distinct geological point of interest. Human activity is evidenced by a network of timber and access roads, including the long stretches of the Tennille Crossroads Tpke and Tennille Tpke crossing the southern half.

Transportation through these flatwoods is anchored by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, which cuts diagonally across the northeastern corner. Historic routes and localized landmarks like Dallis Waterhole suggest a history of land use focused on resource extraction and cattle, while names like Jackson Camp Rd and Tide City Rd hint at localized camps or settlements within the expansive coastal pine forests.
