Description: This detail of a 1850 map from the New Universal Atlas shows towns, forts, roads, canals, major rivers and lakes in Hamilton County. The map is very similar to the 1839 map from Tanner's Universal Atlas. There are references to forts, battlefields, and routes used by the Army during the Seminole War. Micco Town and Jasper are the only labeled town in this detail. The border of Hamilton County corresponds with the Suwannee River.
