About this map

The town of Wausau and the community of Orange Hill anchor this Washington County landscape, which transitions between elevated pinelands and low-lying wetland basins. Near the northern boundary, Falling Water State Park highlights the unique geology of the area around Falling Water Hill, where drainage patterns create distinctive features such as Falling Water. The map documents a rural network of named bays and ponds, including Sand Hill Bay and Owens Lake, which have long influenced the placement of early settlements and industry.

Local history is preserved in landmarks like the Everett Cem and the naming of small tributaries and roads after early residents, such as Paul Watford Cir and Gainer Rd. The legacy of old milling operations is recorded at Bells Mill, situated along the wetlands of Reedy Cr. This 2018 survey detail provides a clear view of the modern infrastructure and drainage basins, including Hard Labor Cr and Little Hard Labor Cr, that define the geography of the Florida panhandle interior.
