About this map

Yankeetown and Inglis anchor this coastal Florida landscape where the Withlacoochee River meets the intricate marshlands of the Gulf Coast. The transition from the dense, swampy interior of Gulf Hammock to the open waters is marked by a complex network of tidal creeks including Turtle Cr, Demory Creek, and Jones Creek. A significant human alteration of the terrain is visible in the straight path of the Cross Florida Barge Canal, which cuts a distinct line through the natural topography just south of the main settlements.

Genealogists and local historians will find interest in the distinct neighborhood of Crackertown and the Priest Cem located near the northern edge of the survey. The abundance of natural springs, such as Sulphur Spring, Big Spring, and Little Spring, indicates the unique hydrography of the region. Distinctive coastal landforms like Helverson Island and the curiously named Pats Elbow further characterize this corner of Levy County during the late 2010s.
