Surveying in Lafayette County

Lafayette County is the least populated county in Florida, with fewer than 9,000 residents spread across 548 square miles. The extremely rural character means surveys are infrequent but typically involve large agricultural parcels.

The Suwannee River forms the county's western boundary, and the Steinhatchee River originates in the county. Both rivers feature karst springs and sinkholes along their courses.

Survey work in Lafayette County is primarily limited to agricultural land divisions, estate boundary determinations, and occasional new construction projects in and around the county seat of Mayo.
