2018 Map of Otter Creek

About this map

Otter Creek and the settlement of Ellzey serve as the primary hubs in this section of Levy County, where the landscape is defined by extensive wetlands and hammocks. The terrain transitions between the higher ground of Rocky Hammock and the low-lying reaches of Devils Hammock, illustrating the unique hydrology of the Florida Big Bend region. Modern infrastructure, including several numbered county roads like Co RD 341, cuts through the natural drainage patterns of Otter Cr and Rocky Run. The map detail highlights the intersection of transportation and topography, particularly along the Meeks Grade and SW Meeks Grade, which provide access through the dense Gulf Hammock area. This 2018 survey reveals how local roads like Grey Lakes Rd have been established to navigate the complex network of creeks and wetlands that dominate the local environment.
