About this map

Waters Lake and its surrounding wetlands dominate this landscape along the border of Alachua and Gilchrist counties. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by an intricate network of water bodies, including Christmas Lake, Dinner Pond, and the wide basin of the Waccasassa Flats. The settlement of Newberry appears on the eastern edge of the sheet, while smaller landmarks like Oak Tree Landing and Rush Airport reflect the rural character of the area.

Genealogical interest is found at Osceola Cem in the northern section, positioned near the Alachua county line. The landscape transitions from the dense terrain of Dry Prairie Hammock to the scattered water features of the south, such as Knighting Lake and Jeb Knight Pond. This map provides a modern record of the local road network, including NE State Rd 47 and SE Co Rd 232, which link these disparate ponds and rural homesteads.
