2015 Map of Wacissa

About this map

Wacissa River springs to life in this landscape, emerging from a network of limestone vents and runs. The terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, where the Wacissa settlement sits near the headwaters of numerous artesian sources, including Big Blue Spring and Aucilla Spring. This area of Jefferson County is characterized by Karst features like the Welaunee Sink and Scurrycut Pond, indicating the subterranean drainage patterns that feed the river system. Further north, Thomas City remains a central point for local travel, connected by historical routes like Tram Rd and the Thomas City-Waukeenah Rd. Along the southern boundary, the Jefferson and Taylor county line follows the winding path of the Aucilla River, where the Florida National Scenic Trail traces the edge of the wetlands. For genealogists and local historians, the Walker Cem and landmarks such as Calico Hill provide specific anchors for family research in this river-dependent community.
