This is a beautifully detailed, laser engraved and precision cut topographical Map of Suwanee River in Georgia and Florida with the following interesting stats carved into it: Approximately 266 Miles Long The steamboat Madison, a floating country store, was on the Suwannee before the Civil War. Captain James Tucker owned and operated the sternwheeler. When the river is not too high and overflowing at White Springs, you can still see her hull there. Stephen Foster became America's first professional songwriter in the 1800s. While writing "Old Folks at Home," he had difficulty finding the right words to complete a verse joining his image of a beautiful river and longings for home. According to legend, his brother suggested the Suwannee River. The words fit, and "Way down upon the Suwannee River" was on its way to making the Suwannee River famous. Since 1935, it has also been Florida's state song. This stand out map is mounted onto a tranquil blue background with a key hole cut on the back and is ready to hang. Available in three sizes. All maps include special points of interest laser engraved into the map face and come with a beautiful blue self-adhesive Swarovski Crystal to mark your preferred location on the map. Each map is a beautiful artistic handcrafted work of art using the finest woods with special attention to every detail. Due to the natural variation in wood grain, each map will vary slightly in finish and color. Birch is our wood of preference. Once the map is cut and engraved we hand sand multiple times, assemble and clear coat them for a lustrous wood shine. We believe that this personal attention each and every item receives makes each wooden item a unique work of art. Made in the USA by American workers in an American owned business. For personalized items, we will send a graphic proof for you to approve prior to production.
