Surveying in Bradford County

Bradford County is one of Florida's smallest and most rural counties, with Starke serving as the county seat. The county's terrain is predominantly flat pine flatwoods and sandhill communities on well-drained sandy soils.

The New River and Santa Fe River systems create the primary flood-prone areas in the county. Surveys near these waterways must account for riverine flooding patterns that can extend well beyond the normal channel.

Rural residential properties in Bradford County often rely on metes-and-bounds descriptions rather than recorded plats, making boundary survey accuracy dependent on careful deed chain analysis and original corner recovery.
