The best I could figure out is that north to south, the center would range from Lake Sumter Landing to a point in Virginia Trace at about Canal St and Haynesville Lane. That's almost 5K from the north and another 5K from the south. The variable is because the Villages bottom longitude is angled from east to west. (Forget the east to west center point because of the extensive longitude variations) You can see the variations heading from Brownwood eastward to the eastern end of Rt. 44 in the Sumter master plan of the Villages. http://www.sumtercountyfl.gov/Docume....aspx?DID=3350 (PDF Document)
If you find my figures are off, my name is Jose Schwartz and I live in Alaska!  |
SkyGuy: It is my understanding that anyone who built above Mallory was required to go to the Brownwood Square
