2018 Map of Anthony

About this map

The settlement of Sparr and the community of Anthony anchor this North Central Florida landscape, where the character of the terrain is defined by low-lying basins and ephemeral water bodies. This 2018 survey reveals a distinct pattern of land use, where aviation and agriculture meet at sites like Paniola Air Ranch Airport and Jumbolair Airport. The hydrography of the region is notably dominated by expansive open spaces such as Gooski Prairie, Black Sink Prairie, and Indian Lake Prairie, which indicate the natural drainage patterns characteristic of Marion County. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds, including Dupree Cem in the north and Mount Olive Cem near the center of the sheet. The map also traces the transition between rural residential growth and traditional land divisions, with smaller settlements like Oak and Burbank situated along the periphery of the more established townships.
