2012 Map of Yankeetown

About this map

The Withlacoochee River carves a path through the low-lying wetlands of Levy County, defining the spatial relationship between the neighboring settlements of Inglis and Yankeetown. This survey illustrates the intricate network of tidal creeks and marshes, including Demory Cr and Fuller Cr, as they flow toward the Gulf of Mexico. The human geography is marked by distinct residential clusters like Crackertown and specialized sites such as TFD Camp. A significant engineering feature, the Cross Florida Barge Canal, cuts a straight horizontal line across the lower landscape, contrasting with the meandering natural waterways. Local landmarks like Priest Cem and the Sulphur Spring provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of these riverfront communities. The presence of Gulf Hammock and Cedar Hammock indicates the wooded, coastal character of the terrain just inland from the gulf.
