About this map

The Suwannee River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Hamilton and Columbia Counties, defining the character of this northern Florida landscape. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by dramatic water features and river bends, including the notable Big Shoals, Little Shoals, and the sharp turn at Scarborough Bend. The town of White Springs sits at the western edge, adjacent to the Riverside Cem, serving as a gateway to the Florida National Scenic Trail which tracks the river's course.

Away from the riverbanks, the terrain transitions into a mosaic of wetlands and named ponds such as Gar Pond, Horse Pond, and the Indian Mound Swamp. Settlement patterns are sparse, with the communities of Suwannee Valley and Winfield connected by a network of rural roads. The persistence of names like Bill Bay and Hooker Bay indicates the low-lying, swampy character of the northern interior sections.
