The part in central Florida is the Lake Wales Ridge, remnants of 1M+ year old islands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Wales_Ridge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Wales_Ridge . The combination of Florida heat and fast-draining sandy soil makes it the closest thing Florida has to a desert.
If I read things correctly, that line continuing up through Georgia is the Cypresshead Formation. See page 7 of https://segs.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/AIPG-SEGSMay2009_Guidebook-48B.pdf https://segs.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/AIPG-SEGSMay2009... , which also shows it's not part of the Fall Line.
