About this map

Alexander Springs serves as the focal point of this hydrologically complex landscape within the Ocala National Forest. The map documents a territory defined by the transition from upland forest to the expansive wetlands of the Saint Johns River basin, which forms the eastern boundary near Bowers Bluff. Evidence of early 20th-century industry persists in the form of Railroad Grade Rd, while the secluded Shockley Cem offers a primary point of interest for those researching local family history.

Conservation areas dominate the topography, including the Billies Bay Wilderness and the Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge. The intricate network of waterways, from Alexander Springs Creek to the Black Water Swamp, illustrates the region's natural drainage patterns. Extensive trail systems, such as the Florida National Scenic Trl and Wandering Wiregrass Trl, weave through the forest, connecting the high-water marks of Lake Dorr and Lake Dexter.
