2018 Map of Red Level

About this map

The Cross Florida Barge Canal cuts a prominent horizontal path across this Citrus County coastline, representing a massive infrastructure project that remains etched into the Florida landscape. To the north, the small settlement of Red Level sits at the junction of N Suncoast Blvd and W Dunnellon Rd, serving as a local anchor near the Red Level Cem. The terrain is defined by a labyrinthine network of salt marshes and islands where fresh water from Crystal River meets the Gulf of Mexico. Navigable passages like East Pass and South Pass weave through a cluster of named landforms, including Burtine Island, Snake Island, and Shell Island. Further south, the recreation-focused Fort Island Beach and Camp Island sit among the tidal creeks and keys, illustrating the region's complex coastal geography and its transition from inland pine woods to the open waters of Crystal Bay.
