2015 Map of Odessa

About this map

Odessa and Lake Fern sit at the heart of this landscape along the border of PasCO and Hillsborough counties, where the headwaters of the Anclote River emerge from a dense collection of lakes. The area's character is defined by its hydrology, with larger bodies like Island Ford Lake, Keystone Lake, and Crescent Lake punctuating the residential development expanding along SR-54 and Old Gunn Hwy. A complex network of smaller basins, including Lake Minniola, Lake Geneva, and Lake Hiawatha, illustrates the intricate drainage patterns that have historically shaped local settlement and land use. The presence of the Terrain DC Golf Dr and numerous residential winding drives like Wadsworth Dr and Wyndham Lakes Dr reflects the modern transformation of this once-rural lake country into a suburban corridor, while the S Br Anclote River continues to mark the natural terrain.
