2012 Map of Red Level

About this map

The Cross Florida Barge Canal cuts across the northern edge of this coastal landscape, a significant engineering landmark set against the intricate marshlands of the Gulf of Mexico. In the settlement of Red Level, residential streets such as N Basswood Ave and W Checkerberry Dr meet the arterial N Tallahassee Rd, while the Red Level Cem remains a local point of genealogical interest. To the south, the Crystal River winds toward the coast, creating a complex geography of inlets and islands including Pine Island, Camp Island, and The Suncoast Keys. This 2012 survey illustrates the relationship between contemporary development and the ecologically sensitive coastline, where points like Fort Island Beach and Shark Point mark the transition from land to the open waters of Crystal Bay.
