The historic Suwanne River borders Suwannee county on the south, west, and north borders, so I did the same on their flag. The thing about the Suwannee River is that no one knows where the name comes from. Some say it's a butchered form of "San Juan" introduced by the conquistadors, others say it's from "Sawane" the Cherokee word for "echo river". I showed this by the intergnging red and yellow. The county seat of Live Oak was built at a railway crossing, so the stripes make a railroad pattern.
