Surveying in Madison County

Madison County is part of Florida's rural Big Bend region, with rolling red clay hills in the northern portion transitioning to lower flatwoods in the south. The red clay soils — unusual for Florida — can present different challenges for monument installation compared to typical sandy terrain.

The Withlacoochee (South) and Aucilla Rivers form portions of the county boundaries, with the Aucilla River being notable for its disappearing-and-reappearing flow through a karst limestone channel.

Timber production and agriculture (peanuts, cotton, cattle) dominate the landscape. Survey work primarily involves large agricultural and timber parcels with metes-and-bounds descriptions and original GLO corner references.
