About this map

Tidewater sits in a landscape of wetlands and prairies within Levy County, where the transition between dry uplands and low-lying karst topography is clearly evident. The area is defined by its water features, ranging from the flowing waters of Cow Cr and Tenmile Cr to stationary basins like Race Pond and Halfway Pond. The presence of Cypress Prairie in the southern portion of the map highlights the unique ecological character of this region, where seasonal water levels dictate the use of the land.

Local history and community landmarks are centered around the Sand Pond Cem and the Wings Field Airport, which provides a modern aviation anchor for the rural neighborhood. Residential development is clustered particularly around the shores of Bonable Lake and Little Bonable Lake, while the surrounding terrain is etched by drainage features like Sapling Br and N Prong Tenmile Cr. This survey illustrates the settlement patterns of central Florida during the early 21st century.
