Geography
The Cades Pond culture is found in an area roughly corresponding to present-day eastern Alachua County, the northern half of Marion County and the western part of Putnam County.
Cades Pond sites are located adjacent to lakes and wetlands, often between lakes and wetlands. Cades Pond villages are often associated with mounds. Some of the villages include earthworks associated with mounds and burial areas. Other villages were near mounds, while some villages had no associated mound. Villages appear to have been occupied for long periods, and included large storage pits.
Mounds and village sites of the Cades Pond culture have been found near River Sink on the Santa Fe River, Lake Santa Fe, between Paynes Prairie and Newnans Lake (Gainesville, between Paynes Prairie and Levy Lake (Wacahoota), and between and around Orange Lake and Lochloosa Lake (Cross Creek, Hawthorne, Evinston and the River Styx).

Famous quotes containing the word geography:
“Ktaadn, near which we were to pass the next day, is said to mean “Highest Land.” So much geography is there in their names.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“The California fever is not likely to take us off.... There is neither romance nor glory in digging for gold after the manner of the pictures in the geography of diamond washing in Brazil.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
