Surveying in Suwannee County

Suwannee County is named for the iconic Suwannee River, which forms the county's western boundary. The river's karst-fed channel features numerous springs, sinks, and river rises that make riparian surveys along the Suwannee geologically complex.

The county's karst geology is among the most active in Florida, with the Falmouth Springs area and numerous sinkholes creating terrain where surface water drainage patterns can change dramatically after heavy rainfall.

Agriculture — including dairy, poultry, timber, and tobacco — dominates the county's economy, and survey work primarily involves large agricultural parcel boundaries, estate subdivisions, and rural homestead determinations.
