About this map

Williston serves as the focal point of this North Central Florida landscape where the borders of Levy, Alachua, and Marion counties converge. The 2021 survey reveals a complex grid of rural routes and residential streets, particularly around East Williston and the smaller settlements of Raleigh and Hodgson. Genealogical interest is concentrated in several distinct burial grounds, including the Willis Family Cem and the Wacahoota Methodist Church Cem, which speak to the area's deep-rooted family histories and early religious foundations.

The physical geography is defined by a series of prairies and isolated water bodies that break up the pine and pasture lands. Large open expanses like Horse Prairie and Priest Prairie dominate the northern sections, while Johnson Lake and Doe Pond punctuate the eastern reaches. This map illustrates the modern footprint of a region long shaped by its position at a tri-county junction, showing how contemporary infrastructure overlaying traditional land names like Mud Pond continues to define the local character.
