2015 Map of Fourmile Lake

About this map

Fourmile Lake and a dense network of karst ponds and marshes characterize this central Gilchrist County landscape. The settlement of Bell sits at the northern edge, while the rural communities of Mutual and Tyler anchor the surrounding agricultural and timber lands. The area is notable for several private aviation landmarks, including the Flying Harness Farms Airport, Saw Whet Farms Airport, and the Watson Flight Strip, reflecting the integration of air travel into the region's farm operations. Local history is anchored at the Joppa Cem and Trenton Cem, while numerous smaller water bodies like Weeks Waterhole and Negro Pond highlight the unique limestone-driven hydrology of the Florida interior. The map reveals an intricate grid of county roads and trails, such as CR-232 and W Suwannee St, that connect these disparate settlements and farmsteads.
