About this map

Osceola National Forest dominates the northwestern portion of this Baker County landscape, where the Seaboard Air Line railroad and US Highway 90 cut through the timbered terrain. The settlement of Sanderson serves as a local hub near the northern edge, while the rural community of Bethlehem is anchored by the Bethlehem Ch and its adjacent Bethlehem Cem further east.

The landscape is defined by its extensive wetlands and water systems, notably the South Prong Swamp and the headwaters of the South Prong St Marys River. Features like Wampee Bay, Granny Bay, and Swift Creek Pond illustrate the low-lying, hydric nature of the Florida interior during the early 1960s. Industrial activity is represented by the State Nursery and Manns Spur, highlighting the region's reliance on forest products and rail infrastructure.
