2024 Map of Ozello

About this map

Ozello sits at the heart of an intricate labyrinth of tidal creeks and mangrove islands along the Citrus County coast. This modern survey illustrates the complex aquatic geography where the Saint Martins River and Homosassa River meet the Gulf of Mexico. Large portions of the landscape are dedicated to conservation, including the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge and the Chassahowitzka Wilderness, protecting a network of named features like Dog Island and Shell Island. The map highlights a community deeply tied to the water, where transit is defined by winding routes like N Ozello Trl and the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl. This coastal environment is characterized by a series of bays and narrows, from Dixie Bay in the north to the Chassahowitzka Swamp in the south, reflecting a territory where land and sea are perpetually intertwined.
