2012 Map of Citra

About this map

Citra and Island Grove anchor this Florida landscape, where the flatlands of Marion County meet a complex network of wetlands and citrus-era history. The map detail highlights the hydrological connection between Orange Lake and Lochloosa Lake via the Lochloosa Slough, a corridor defined by numerous smaller basins like Still Pond and Simmons Pond. This area is notable for its aviation and literary associations, featuring the Marjorie Kennan Rawlings Airport and the smaller 85th Avenue Airstrip. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites for the local population, including Citra Cemetery, Antioch Cemetery, and Carlton Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by the California Scrub, reflecting the unique sandy ecosystems of the region. A dense grid of rural roads and residential lanes, such as NE 189th Ln and NE 200th Street Rd, shows the modern footprint of these established agricultural communities.
