Surveying in Putnam County
Putnam County is bisected by the St. Johns River, which is exceptionally wide through this section, creating extensive riverfront properties with complex riparian boundary determinations. The river is still tidal at Palatka, approximately 75 miles from the coast.
The Ocala National Forest borders the county's western edge, and the extensive wetlands of the St. Johns River marsh create large areas unsuitable for development. Surveys near these boundaries require careful wetland delineation and jurisdictional determination.
Palatka's historic riverside properties feature legal descriptions from territorial-era Florida plats, and surveying in the older sections of town often requires research through deed chains dating to the 1820s and 1830s.
