State Road 471 is a two-lane rural highway primarily in Sumter County in the state of Florida. It runs north and south from US 98 in northwestern Polk County to US 301 in Sumterville to US 98 in Sumter County.
Route description
 | This article about roads may need to be written in a south-to-north or west-to-east direction. |
In Sumterville itself, SR 471 runs along a former railroad line that ran towards Winter Haven, then turns directly south though primarily farmland and the City of Webster, a popular farm-to-market trading post.
South of SR 50 in Tarrytown, SR 471 runs entirely through preserved forest land and swampland, including the Withlacoochee State Forest. Contrary to what maps indicate, it's not as straight through this area, frequently shifting from left to right and vice-versa. Within this preserved land, it runs along the Hernando–Sumter border, then the Pasco–Sumter border until it reaches the Withlacoochee River and crosses into Polk County, running along the Pasco–Polk border until finally reaching US 98, southeast of the intersection with Pasco CR 54 entirely within Polk County.
