2012 Map of Center Hill

About this map

Center Hill serves as the primary hub in this central Florida landscape, characterized by an intricate network of wetlands, ponds, and small lakes. The map reveals a mosaic of water bodies including Wise Hammock Pond, Honeycut Lake, and Lake Bright, interspersed with named terrain features like Hampton Prairie and the Crowder Holes. Rural industry and research are evidenced by the presence of the University of Florida State Experimental Farm and aviation facilities such as Grass Roots Airpark and the Tex Merritt Private Airstrip. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, notably Center Hill Cem, Merritt Cem, and Cool Spring Cem. The winding Palatlakaha River cuts through the eastern portion of the sheet, while infrastructure like the Center Hill Water Tower and Groveland Tower punctuate the horizon, marking the transition between agricultural land and recreation at Clear Lake Campground.
