1994 Map of Alexander Springs

About this map

Alexander Springs Creek winds through a vast expanse of protected Florida wilderness, forming a vital hydrologic link between the Ocala National Forest and the St Johns River system. The map documents a landscape defined by subtropical hydrology, where named water bodies like Lake Dexter and Lake Dorr are interspersed with specialized environments such as Billies Bay and Stagger Mud Lake. While much of the terrain is dedicated to conservation within the Ocala State Wildlife Management Area, evidence of human geography appears at Hinson and the secluded Stockley Cem. The reliance on 4WD tracks and the presence of a Lookout Tower underscore the remote character of this region during the late 20th century, before major modern shifts in water management or forest infrastructure.
