About this map

Natural Bridge Battlefield State Historic Site marks a critical historical juncture where the St Marks River vanishes underground. This karst landscape is defined by its hydrology, featuring a dense concentration of sinks and springs such as Natural Bridge Spring, Natural Bridge Sink, and St Marks Spring. The topography reveals the complex subterranean drainage patterns typical of this region of Florida, where surface waters frequently disappear and re-emerge.

Civilian and institutional life is centered around the settlement of Woodville and the southern Wakulla Correctional Institution. Local history is preserved at the Rhodes Cem and Godwin Cem, while old property boundaries like the Forbes Purchase Line provide a glimpse into the colonial-era land grants that shaped northern Florida's early development. Drainage from the north, including Hamlin Branch and Chicken Branch, feeds into the complex river system near the Leon Co Wakulla Co line.
