About this map

Spring Lake and the surrounding citrus and ranching country of the Florida central highlands are captured here, straddling the Hernando Co PasCO Co line. The landscape is defined by its karst topography, where numerous sinkhole lakes such as Neff Lake, Saint Clair Lake, and Hancock Lake dot the rolling terrain. Settled pockets like Dixie and Jessamine appear alongside numerous family-named cemeteries, including Townsend House Cem and Twin Lakes Cem, providing essential points of reference for local genealogy and history.

Transport and land use patterns are visible through the network of local roads like Ayers RD and Hickory Hill RD, which wind around prominent elevations like Hickory Hill. The presence of Lake Iola and Jessamine Lake in the southern portion of the map indicates the significance of water resources for the area's agricultural and residential development, as it transitioned into the early 21st century.
