CRAWFORDVILLE. 
Crawfordville is the comity seat of Wakulla county and is 
located near the center of the county. The surface material here 
is a sandy loam, below which limestones are generally found at 
no great depth. The town has no city water supply and no deep 
wells occur in the vicinity. The supply is principally from open 
shallow wells, which furnish as a rule a hard water. Cisterns are 
in use to some extent.
