About this map

The Richloam area and the rural settlements of Sturkey and Clay Sink define this landscape along the tri-county borders of Pasco, Hernando, and Sumter. This part of the Florida interior is characterized by an extensive network of wetlands, including Yankee Swamp, Wildcat Swamp, and the massive Green Pond Swamp. The presence of the Florida National Scenic Trail through the western section highlights the region's preservation as a corridor for nature and recreation.

Local navigation relies on a grid of grade roads and named tracks like Lacoochee Clay Sink Rd and Main Line Rd, which reflect the area's history of timber and land management. Distinctive local landmarks such as Raulerson Hammock and several isolated water bodies, including Big Pond and Grumpy Pond, provide specific points of interest for those tracing family roots or geographic changes in this low-lying territory.
