2018 Map of Spring Lake

About this map

Hancock Lake and Middle Lake sit at the center of this terrain, marking the boundary between Hernando and Pasco counties. The landscape is defined by a high concentration of karst ponds and named lakes, including Neff Lake, Sparkman Lake, and Lake Iola. Settled areas such as Spring Lake, Dixie, Jessamine, and Saint Joseph are connected by a network of local roads that navigate around these water bodies and the prominent rise of Hickory Hill. Genealogical interests are served by the presence of the Townsend House Cem, Johnson Cem, and Twin Lakes Cem, which offer physical markers of the area's rural history. The proximity of these cemeteries to historic crossroads like Saint Joseph provides a clear view of how communities organized around the high ground and water resources in this part of Florida.
