Crystal River and Manatee Habitat
Crystal River connects spring-fed Kings Bay with the Gulf of Mexico. Dozens of springs supply warm water that attracts manatees during colder weather and supports year-round paddling, boating, fishing, and wildlife viewing.
Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge and Kings Bay Manatee Refuge protect important habitat. Wildlife encounters require current rules on speed, distance, touching, and protected sanctuary areas.

The download includes color, black-and-white, and outline maps. The labeled versions locate selected communities, while the outline removes existing labels and fills for custom annotation.
This Citrus County Florida map focuses on the county boundary and its relationship to Levy, Marion, Sumter, and Hernando counties. It is not a nautical chart, flood map, spring-diving guide, or parcel survey.

Inverness and the Inland County Seat
Inverness contains the courthouse and principal county government offices. The city sits beside the Tsala Apopka Chain of Lakes and connects with parks, local commerce, and the Withlacoochee State Trail.
Inverness serves the inland administrative area, while Crystal River is more closely tied to springs, estuaries, and Gulf tourism. Comparing both cities explains the county’s east-west structure.
Homosassa and the Natural Gulf Coast
Homosassa is an unincorporated community centered on the Homosassa River and nearby springs. Fishing, boating, paddling, seafood, wildlife viewing, and seasonal visitors shape the local economy.
The county’s Gulf shore is dominated by marshes, tidal creeks, islands, and shallow estuaries rather than long sandy beaches. Boaters should use official charts and current tide and weather information.
Withlacoochee River, Lakes, and Trails
The Withlacoochee River helps define the county’s northeastern side. Inland Citrus County also includes lakes, wetlands, pine forests, and conservation lands that contrast with the coastal estuary environment.
The Withlacoochee State Trail follows a former railroad corridor through Inverness, Floral City, and nearby communities. A county map does not show every trailhead, crossing, or facility.
Population Growth and Settlement
The county grew from 141,236 residents in 2010 to 153,843 in 2020 and an estimated 171,666 in 2025. Retirement migration, housing development, healthcare, outdoor recreation, and seasonal residents influence this growth.
Population is spread among incorporated cities and large unincorporated communities. The map is most useful when the inland, coastal, and northern river areas are viewed together.
