About this map

The Apalachicola National Forest dominates the western landscape of this mid-century survey, where the boundary between Leon and Wakulla counties runs through the small settlements of Woodville and Vereen. The area is characterized by a complex network of wetlands and karst features, including the St Marks River and the hydrologically significant Natural Bridge Spring and Natural Bridge Sink. To the northeast, a dense cluster of lakes such as Big Lake and Lake Maltie sit near the small community of Rose.

Evidence of historical land divisions is visible in the Forbes Purchase Line, a diagonal boundary that cuts across the township grid. For those researching local families, the map identifies the Rhodes Cem and Godwin Cem, along with several water features bearing family names like Rhodes Springs and Lutterloh Pond. The Seaboard railroad corridor provides a primary north-south transit link, connecting these rural outposts to the wider region.
