About this map

Osceola National Forest defines the northern reaches of this Florida landscape, where the waters of the South Prong Saint Marys River wind through a dense network of wetlands. This 2024 survey captures the rural boundary between Baker and Union Counties, characterized by expansive lowlands such as Wampee Bay, Granny Bay, and the South Prong Swamp. The transition from forest to settlement is marked by Manns Spur and the southern edge of Sanderson, with local history etched into the landscape via family-named routes and the South Prong Cemetery.

Surface water is the dominant geographic feature, ranging from the concentrated Swift Creek Pond to the sprawling Turkey Creek Swamp and Mud Lake Swamp. These features illustrate the complex hydrography of the region, where roads like Bethlehem Church Road and Possom Trot Road navigate around the natural drainage of Black Creek. The map provides a clear record of the modern road network intersecting with these long-standing environmental landmarks.
