About this map

The Suwannee River flows through the heart of this landscape, serving as a natural boundary between Dixie, Gilchrist, and Levy counties. Along its banks, the community of Fanning Springs is a central focal point, adjacent to the conserved lands of Fanning Springs State Park and the Andrews Wildlife Management Area. The map reveals a transition from these protected riverine corridors to the developed corridors of Chiefland and Old Town.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of the Old Town Memorial Cem and Shady Grove Cem. The area’s modern infrastructure is represented by the College of Central Florida Levy Campus, while older crossroads such as Wilcox Junction and Lottieville suggest the historical settlement patterns of the Big Bend region. Numerous water features like Jennings Lake, Long Pond, and Shacklefoot Pond dot the low-lying terrain, illustrating the hydrologic character of this part of Florida.
