About this map

Osceola National Forest dominates this northern Florida landscape, characterized by a complex network of wetlands and creeks that drain toward the St Marys River and its Middle Prong. The topography is punctuated by features like Hurricane Bay and is traversed by an Old Railroad Grade, indicating former industrial or logging corridors through the timberland.

Settlement is concentrated at Sanderson and the smaller Dobson, where community life centered around several local landmarks. Researchers will find significant genealogical data in the locations of Sanderson Cem and Cedar Creek Ch (Cem). The area's social fabric is further evidenced by a high density of country churches and schools, including New Dinkins Ch, St Johns Ch, and Central Sch, many connected by rural routes like Din Kins Road and Pony Road.
