The main tract of the forest (Cary Tract) is located along the east side of US 301 between Bryceville and Ingle, Behind this tract is the Monticello Tract, which is almost entirely in Duval County, and southeast of this is the Norfolk Southern Tract, the southern portion of which is bisected by the Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail. Much further north of these is the Thomas Creek Tract south of Crawford, most of which is in Nassau County, except for one-fourth of the eastern section.[1]
