Surveying in Gilchrist County

Gilchrist County is bordered by the Suwannee River to the north and west and the Santa Fe River to the south. Both rivers feature karst features including springs, sinks, and river rises that create unique surveying challenges along the riverbanks.

The county's limestone geology is exceptionally close to the surface, with numerous springs and sinks. Ginnie Springs, Blue Springs, and other popular swimming holes are located here, creating spring protection zones that affect development surveys.

Gilchrist remains one of Florida's most rural and least developed counties, with surveys primarily involving agricultural parcels, timberland, and rural homestead subdivisions.
