About this map

Annutteliga Hammock dominates the southwestern portion of this mid-century survey, defining a landscape where dense forest meets the open spans of Turkey Prairie and Hobb Prairie. This region on the border of Citrus and Hernando counties reveals a rural society organized around small community hubs like the Oak Grove Community Hall and several country churches, including Hebron Ch and Shiloh Ch. The geological character of the Florida karst plain is evident in the numerous depressions and water features such as Lizzie Hart Sink, Brush Sink, and Stage Pond. Transportation and industry are marked by the Seaboard Air Line railroad passing through Stafford Siding, while various Quarry sites indicate active resource extraction. The presence of the Hammock Sch and Stage Pond Cem provides significant points of interest for those tracing local family roots and early settlement patterns.
