About this map

The Withlacoochee River and its various tributaries, including the Little Withlacoochee River and the Withlacoochee River South Trail, dominate this landscape at the border of Sumter and Hernando counties. The settlement of Saint Catherine sits near the northeastern corner, while Croom and Rerdell mark the central and eastern corridors. This area is characterized by significant karst topography, evidenced by numerous depressions and aquatic features such as Corbett Sink, McKenie Lime Sink, and the curiously named Devils Slack Tub.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Wild Cow Prairie Cemetery and small airfields like Ko-Kee Airport indicative of the region's rural development. The presence of the Gant Lake Canal and many named ponds, including Blanket Grass Pond and Coon Prairie Pond, reflects a complex hydrographic network that has shaped local land use and transportation between Rital and the surrounding woods.
