Summary
Livingston Spring, sometimes labeled “Livingston Springs” on topographic maps, is a spring-fed pond located in Madison County, Florida. The feature appears on the USGS 1:24,000 Madison quadrangle and is recorded at approximately 88 feet above mean sea level.
Unlike large first-magnitude springs such as Madison Blue, Livingston Spring appears to form a small groundwater-fed depression or pond rather than a broad, open limestone basin.
Location and Geographic Context
The spring lies just north of the City of Madison in mixed woodland and agricultural fields. County mapping and USGS topographic data identify the feature as a lake-type water body.
Contour lines on the quadrangle map indicate a shallow basin surrounded by gently rolling terrain typical of North Florida’s karst topography.
Some online map listings (e.g., Google Maps) may display an inaccurate pin. USGS topographic mapping and county GIS/county maps place Livingston Springs just north of Madison, in a wooded section between 53 and NE Rocky Ford Rd (see resources below).
Water Characteristics
Public documentation regarding discharge rate or magnitude classification is limited. Based on mapping data, Livingston Spring appears to function as a groundwater-fed pond rather than a high-flow exposed vent.
Topographic mapping suggests the possibility of more than one spring opening contributing to the pond.
Access
Public access to Livingston Spring is not clearly documented. The surrounding land appears to consist largely of private rural property.
Visitors should confirm land ownership and access rights before attempting to visit the site. No public park infrastructure or designated recreational facilities are currently documented at this location.
