2015 Map of Weeki Wachee Spring

About this map

Weeki Wachee Spring and the headwaters of the Weeki Wachee River anchor this 2015 study of western Hernando County. The landscape is defined by its karst topography, where water bodies like Coon Wallow, Tooke Lake, and Whitehurst Pond populate the sandy terrain. The map documents a period of significant suburban infill and residential development, particularly evident in the dense street grids of High Point and Berkeley. Large-scale infrastructure is dominated by the north-south corridor of Commercial Way, which serves as the primary artery for the region's commercial growth. To the north, the presence of Centralia Rd alludes to the area's timber history, while the intricate network of residential streets with avian-inspired names like Peregrine Falcon Ave and Piping Plover Ave illustrates the late 20th-century transition from rural woodlands to retirement and commuter communities.
