2012 Map of Ward

About this map

Ochlockonee River defines the western landscape of this Leon County region, where the river's winding course creates a network of swampy lowlands and named tributaries like Blue Cr and Reedy Br. The settlement pattern centers on small communities and river-access points such as Ward and Rock Bluff, reflecting a landscape deeply tied to the water. In the northern reaches, Stoutamire Landing and its associated Stoutamire Landing Campground mark a primary recreational area near Round Pond and Long Pond. Away from the main river corridor, the map details an extensive network of Forest Service roads, including Forest Rd 316 and Forest Rd 315, which navigate the pine-dominated terrain. To the south, the headwaters of the W Br Sopchoppy River and features like Rhodes Springs highlight the area's complex hydrology and its importance for local drainage into the Gulf coastal plain.
