About this map

The Alachua, Gilchrist, and Levy county lines converge in this landscape dominated by a network of small lakes and seasonal ponds west of Newberry. The terrain is defined by its distinct karst-like hydrology, featuring named water bodies such as Waccasassa Lake, Winquipin Lake, and Shirley Lake. These features are connected by local crossings like the Porter Smith Bridge and Asbell Creek Bridge, which anchor the rural road network.

Smaller, uniquely named features like Mineral Feeder Pond, Meeting Pond, and Doorshutter Lake suggest a history of local land use tied to these specific water sources. The map also captures the transition from more developed areas near Newberry to the quieter wetlands of Haven Winquipin and the surrounding swamps. This document provides a clear view of the north-central Florida interior before more recent modern development altered the rural character of these three-county borderlands.
