Mayo and County Government
Mayo is the county seat and contains the courthouse, principal county offices, schools, businesses, and local services. Although small, it serves as the administrative and commercial center for surrounding rural communities.
The county government’s official offices are located in Mayo. A general county map does not show every public building or local road.
Suwannee River Boundary
Florida law uses the Suwannee River as an important part of the county’s eastern and southeastern boundary. The river supports fishing, paddling, camping, and wildlife viewing.
Water levels, boat access, and camping conditions vary with weather and season, so current official information should be used.
Lafayette Blue Springs
Lafayette Blue Springs State Park is known for clear spring water, limestone formations, and access to the Suwannee River. Swimming, paddling, picnicking, and wildlife observation are common activities.
High river levels can affect spring visibility and facility access. Current state park conditions should be checked before visiting.
Agriculture and Forest Landscapes
Farms, pasture, pine forests, and scattered homes cover much of the inland county. Communities and services are widely spaced compared with Florida’s urban counties.
Detailed farm, timber, private-property, and management boundaries require current official land records.
