About this map

Shady Grove and the surrounding timber and agricultural lands of Taylor and Madison Counties are defined by the winding course of the Econfina River. This 2015 update shows a rural landscape punctuated by several small, distinct settlements including Sirmans, Eridu, Iddo, and Ebb. These communities are connected by a network of local routes such as Alton Wentworth Rd and the more significant SW Us 221, which cuts north-south through the eastern half of the map.

Genealogists will find interest in the location of the Campbell Cem and Hendry Cem, as well as named landmarks like the Pete Gibson Bridge. The southern portion of the quadrangle is notably more swampy, featuring several named water bodies such as Redwater Lake, Andrews Lake, and Nose Lake. The mapping reflects a transition between established county-line communities and the dense, low-lying river bottoms that historically shaped transportation and settlement patterns in this part of Florida.
