About this map

The Suwannee River carves a winding path through this corner of Florida, serving as the natural boundary between Dixie, Gilchrist, and Levy Counties. Near the center of the sheet, the community of Fanning Springs is established at a strategic river crossing, where the Fanning Springs State Park Trl and Nature Coast State Trl converge. These modern trails follow the historical paths of transit through the region, linking settlements like Old Town, Wilcox Junction, and Lottieville.

The landscape is characterized by a mix of wetlands and hammocks, including the Old Town Hammock and numerous named water bodies such as Jennings Lake and Shacklefoot Pond. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the documentation of the Old Town Memorial Cem and Shady Grove Cem, while the inclusion of the College of Central Florida Levy Campus near Chiefland marks the modern educational infrastructure of the area.
