About this map

Webster and its surrounding rural landscapes in Sumter and Hernando counties are defined by a complex network of wetlands and small agricultural settlements. The terrain transitions from the concentrated residential blocks of Center Hill and Oak Grove in the north to the dense cypress and hardwood reaches of the Withlacoochee State Forest in the south. Local history is anchored by numerous community burial grounds, including the Garden of Memories Cem and Stewart Chapel Cem.

Water management is a central theme of this landscape, evidenced by the Gant Lake Canal connecting Little Gant Lake and Big Gant Lake. These systems, along with the Little Withlacoochee River, drain the low-lying basins of Marshall Bay and Akins Sawgrass. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the wilderness of Indianhouse Swamp and the settlement of Richloam, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to the forest and timber economy.
