About this map

The Suwannee River carves a winding path through this region of Levy and Dixie counties, serving as the primary geographic anchor for riverside settlements like Old Town and Fanning Springs. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from river-based landings to established road networks, with historical points like Clay Landing and Pine Landing along the western bank contrasted by the development of Wilcox Junction and Manatee Road to the east.

Ecological and historical preservation are evident in the sprawling Manatee Springs State Park, which encompasses several distinctive water bodies such as Shacklefoot Pond. Genealogists will find the location of the Old Town Cem and smaller outlying communities like Lottieville and Andrews useful for tracing local family footprints. The landscape is a complex network of springs, including Bell Springs, and numerous lakes like Jennings Lake and Long Pond, reflecting the limestone-rich topography characteristic of the Florida Nature Coast.
