About this map

The Suwannee River carves a winding path along the western boundary of this Levy County landscape, anchored by the natural wonder of Manatee Springs. The terrain is defined by a complex network of hydrologic features including Alligator Lake, Bonnet Pond, and Willow Sink, reflecting the limestone-rich karst geography of the Florida panhandle. These sinks and ponds are interspersed with traditional coastal lowlands like Piney Prairie and the wooded Old Hammock.

Human activity is centered around the outskirts of Chiefland and the local Manatee Springs Airport. For those researching local lineages or burial sites, the map precisely locates the Antioch Cem near the center of the quadrangle and the Hardee Cem in the northeast. A grid of rural roads and trails, such as the Lower Suwannee River Trl, provides access to the dense hammocks and water bodies that dominate this part of the river valley.
