Phillip Williams found this 1914 plat map showing Steep Hill Branch.

Plat and maps: Steep Hill Branch

USGS did not know a name for it, but now its Steep Hill Branch in the WWALS map of the Withlacoochee and Little River Water Trail (WLRWT). Phillip says it’s been known by that name since at least the 1860s.

Evidently either the Little River was much straighter there back then, or they just didn’t bother to try to draw it more accurately. Nonetheless, it is clear this is the right place by the land lot and land district numbers, and the old property owner names.

Steep Hill Branch in 1914 survey plat

On current maps, Steep Hill Branch starts near Miller Bridge Road, runs west sort of parallel and north of to Hall Web Road, south of Hidden River Run, down to the left (east) bank of the Little River.

This is about 6.71 river miles downstream from Folsom Bridge Landing on GA 122.

Does anybody know names for those other two creeks just to the north? Currently we have them as Adams Branch and Adams Run in the WLRWT map. If anybody knows their real names, please let us know:
