About this map

Tidewater sits at the intersection of a complex hydrologic network and a growing residential grid along the border of Levy and Marion Counties. The landscape is defined by its numerous water bodies, including the significant Bonable Lake and Little Bonable Lake to the south, and the expansive Cypress Prairie which hints at the low-lying, wetland character of the region. Local history is anchored by the Sand Pond Cem, located near the namesake Sand Pond, while the presence of Wings Field reflects local aviation activity.

The map reveals a transition from the natural drainage patterns of Tenmile Cr and Sapling Br to an increasingly dense network of named roads and residential lanes. This pattern of development is particularly evident in the eastern half of the quadrangle, where modern street grids contrast with the open areas of Race Pond and the surrounding pine and cypress lands. The alignment of SR-121 and CR-337 provides the primary transit backbone through this rural Florida corridor.
