About this map

Wahoo and the western edge of Bushnell sit at the center of this wetland-rich landscape in Sumter County. The terrain is a complex network of hydrologic features, dominated by the Jumper Creek Swamp and the serpentine Withlacoochee River forming the boundary with Citrus County. This area is characterized by dozens of named hammocks and rises, such as Jumper Island, Cabbage Island, and the curiosity labeled The Wonders.

Remote airfields like Grass Patch Airport, Flying W Airranch, and Connells Wahoo Airport suggest a landscape where private aviation is a primary means of navigating the saturated lowlands. Cultural history is preserved at local landmarks including Indian Hill Cem, Bay Hill Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem. The map traces numerous watercourses like Clabber Creek, Gum Slough, and Hayes Creek, which feed into the extensive swamp systems that define this part of the Florida interior.
