2021 Map of Verna

About this map

Lake Manatee serves as the dominant hydrologic feature of this landscape, created by the damming of the Manatee River which flows westward through the northern portion of the quadrangle. The surrounding terrain is a grid of agricultural and rural residential tracts, connected by a network of numbered avenues and streets like Waterbury Rd and Gill Rd. Small communities such as Bethany, Waterbury, and Verna mark the intersections of these rural corridors, reflecting a long-standing agricultural economy in eastern Manatee County. Recreational assets are represented by the Lake Manatee State Park Trl, which hugs the southern shore of the reservoir.
