About this map

The Suwannee River carves a dramatic path through the northern reaches of this Florida landscape, defining the boundary between Hamilton and Columbia counties at Scarborough Bend. The river's character is highlighted by the presence of Big Shoals and Little Shoals, notable whitewater features that distinguish this stretch of water. To the south, the settlement of White Springs sits near the Riverside Cem, while the communities of Suwannee Valley and Winfield mark the inland progression of the local road network.

Widespread conservation lands, including Big Shoals State Park and portions of the Osceola National Forest, protect a complex system of wetlands and bays such as Hooker Bay and Cabbage Head. These natural areas are fed by numerous tributaries like Falling Creek and Deep Creek, while stationary water bodies like Barbara Lake and Dicks Lake dot the pine and cypress terrain. The map also identifies the Indian Mound Swamp, hinting at the long-term human presence along these riverbanks.
