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).
