2021 Map of Howey-in-the-Hills

About this map

The Palatlakaha River and a dense network of freshwater lakes define this portion of Lake County, where small citrus-era settlements like Howie In The Hills and Orange Blossom sit among the groves and hills. The landscape is characterized by its high concentration of named water bodies, ranging from the expansive Lake Harris in the north to the smaller Lake Annabelle Reed, Lake Illinois, and the central Turkey Lake. For genealogists and local historians, several small burial grounds are documented, including the Allen Pierce Cem and Taylor Memorial Cem, as well as the Church of God by Faith Cem near Blue Springs. The transition from the established streets of Groveland and Mascotte to the unincorporated crossroads of Pumpkin Center illustrates the varied pace of development across the region in the early 21st century.
