Under the town center the state geologic map shows Suwannee Limestone (limestone, dolostone), from the Oligocene, 23 to 34 million years old.
The section below crosses 4 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 64×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
