About this map

Shady Grove and the surrounding rural landscape along the Madison County and Taylor County line appear in this recent survey. The terrain is defined by its low-lying hydrology, where the Econfina River flows through a dense network of wetlands and small water bodies like Redwater Lake, Andrews Lake, and Mud Lake. Small, established communities such as Eridu, Sirmans, and Ebb anchor the northern reaches, connected by a grid of county roads and distinctive local trails like the SW Wolfork Ave Connector Trail.

Genealogists and local historians can locate family landmarks such as Campbell Cemetery and Hendry Cemetery. The map also captures the local infrastructure crossing these wetlands, including the Pete Gibson Bridge in the south and the winding course of Alligator Creek in the north. The distribution of these settlements and cemeteries among the river basins reflects the long-term patterns of rural settlement in Florida's Big Bend region.
