2015 Map of Bushnell

About this map

Bushnell serves as the focal point of this Sumter County landscape, where the intersection of traditional grid-style town planning meets the complex hydrology of Central Florida. The map illustrates a transitional geography defined by large open spaces like Towns Prairie and Clark Prairie, alongside a network of managed water systems such as the Jumper Cr Canal. Significant for family history research, the area is dotted with local burial grounds, including Evergreen Cem and Mount Zion Cem. The settlement pattern follows established county corridors, connecting smaller communities like Sumterville and Bevilles Corner. The presence of Cheryl-Lane Landings and Lincoln Park reflects the mid-to-late century residential expansion that characterizes the region's development. This 2015 survey provides an exact record of the wetlands and ponds, such as Sawgrass Pond and Ellis Lake, that dictate the placement of roads and homesteads across the limestone-underlaid terrain.
