2024 Map of Wausau

About this map

Wausau and the surrounding Florida Panhandle landscape are defined by a network of creeks and numerous small basins like Smutty Bay and Cobb Bay. This survey captures the rural character of Washington County, where community life centers on established sites like Bells Mill and Bradford. The region's history is preserved through its many denominational and family landmarks, including Shiloh Baptist Church and the Saint Joseph A M E Church. To the north, the terrain rises toward Falling Water Hill, while the lowlands are drained by Hard Labor Creek and Holmes Creek. These watercourses were vital for early settlement and small-scale industry, as evidenced by the namesake Jones Rice Mill Branch and Brock Mill Branch. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites documented, from the Wausau Memorial Gardens Cem to smaller plots like Piney Grove Cem West.
