2012 Map of Sampson

About this map

Lake Sampson and its neighboring waters, Lake Crosby and Lake Rowell, dominate this portion of Bradford County. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic connection between these lakes and the Sampson River, which flows westward from the southern shore of its namesake lake. Small rural communities like Sampson and Pleasant Grove are interspersed among a network of county roads and agricultural lands. Several family cemeteries, including Brown Cem, Prescott Cem, and Prevatt Cem, are documented across the terrain, offering significant touchstones for local genealogical research. To the northwest, the Bradford-Union Fire Control Headquarters indicates the region's focus on land management and forestry protection. The map also traces the winding course of Gum Cr and Alligator Cr, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the north Florida interior.
