About this map

Rosewood and Sumner anchor the inland landscape of this Levy County coastline, where the pinelands of Gulf Hammock meet the salt marshes of Waccasassa Bay. The settlement pattern follows the established corridors of Co Rd 345 and Co Rd 453, while the local history is preserved at the Shiloh Cem near the northern boundary. The proximity of Cedars Airfield suggests the ongoing utility of these coastal clearings.

Water defines the southern half of the map, characterized by a complex network of tidal creeks including Spring Creek, Wilder Creek, and Jacks Creek. The coastline transitions from the protected waters of the Waccasassa Bay Preserve State Park Trl to the open Gulf of Mexico. Maritime features like Corrigan Reef, Tripod Point, and Big Stake Gap illustrate a coastline that is both ecologically significant and navigable only by those familiar with its oyster bars and shallow channels.
