About this map

Anthony and Sparr anchor this central Florida landscape, positioned along the north-south corridor of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. The terrain is characterized by a complex of karst features and seasonal wetlands, most notably the expansive Black Sink Prairie and Goose Prairie. These prairies, alongside Indian Lake Prairie and Indian Lake, reflect the typical hydrological patterns of Marion County's limestone geology.

Rural development is marked by several community landmarks, including St Josephs Ch near Sparr and the Oak-Griner Ch in the settlement of Oak. Genealogists may find value in the placement of the Dupree Cem and Mt Olive Cem. The map also captures several mid-century residential street names such as Coconut St, Avacado St, and Moonglow St near Meadowbrook Lake, illustrating the post-war subdivision of agricultural lands.
