The Withlacoochee River and its accompanying swampy lowlands define the geography of this central Florida region, where the borders of Pasco, Sumter, and Polk counties meet. This area remains largely defined by its wetlands and hammocks, including Orange Hammock and Williams Hammock, interspersed with slightly elevated terrain like Thrasher Ridges. Small, dispersed settlements such as Branchborough and the evocatively named Port Lonesome represent the primary human habitations, while the Florida National Scenic Trail winds through the landscape, offering a window into the natural environment within Colt Creek State Park.
