About this map

Citra and Island Grove anchor this north-central Florida landscape, where the boundaries of Alachua, Marion, and Putnam counties converge. The terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies, notably the extensive Lochloosa Slough and the winding course of Orange Creek. For those tracing local families, several established burial grounds are documented, including Antioch Cem, Tompkins Cem, and Citra Cem.

Aviation and literature intersect here at the Marjorie Kennan Rawlings Airport, situated near the county lines. The map reveals a transition from the larger waters of Lochloosa Lake and Orange Lake at the edges into a interior of smaller basins like Simmons Pond and Still Pond. Roads such as CR-318 and CR-325 connect these rural settlements through a landscape of varying elevation and drainage patterns typical of this part of the Florida interior.
