About this map

The low-lying coastal marshes of Levy County meet the Gulf of Mexico in this detailed 2018 survey. The small community of Sumner sits along Co Rd 453, while the settlement of Rosewood is positioned to the northeast, surrounded by a complex network of wetlands and tidal creeks. Local genealogy and community history are anchored by the Shiloh Ch and the adjacent Shiloh Cem, which remain as core landmarks in this landscape of pine flatwoods and salt marsh.

Coastal navigation and maritime patterns are defined by features such as Corrigan Reef, Big Stake Gap, and the Waccasassa Reefs near Kelly Creek Point. The intricate drainage system of the Florida Gulf Coast is visible through the winding paths of Porpoise Creek, Winzy Cr, and Hall Creek as they empty into Waccasassa Bay. Aviation history is also represented by the presence of Cedars Airfield north of the Sumner townsite.
