About this map

Lake City and its eastern surroundings are dominated by a blend of institutional growth and the expansive wilderness of the Osceola National Forest. The landscape is defined by the transition from the city's residential and educational hubs, such as Florida Gateway College, to the outlying rural settlements of Watertown, Newco, and Wilburn. Aviation history and current utility are represented by the sprawling Lake City Gateway Airport and the smaller Rossi Field to the south.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant markers of community history at the Truevine Cem and Price Creek Cem. The northern portion of the map is largely defined by the drainage of Falling Creek and Otter Bay, while the eastern reaches move into the dense pine lands and swamps of the national forest near Mount Carrie. This survey provides a clear view of the modern road network and land divisions that continue to shape Columbia County.
