2018 Map of Eureka Dam

About this map

Lake Ocklawaha dominates the eastern landscape of this Marion County corridor, where the historic Eureka Dam stands near the settlement of Eureka. This 2018 survey captures a complex mosaic of freshwater systems and protected woodlands, with the Ocala National Forest spanning the eastern shore. The western half is defined by a dense cluster of named water bodies including Horseshoe Lake, Island Lake, and Stokes Lake, illustrating the characteristic karst topography of north-central Florida. Local history is anchored by Cornelius Cem in the north and the small community at Bay Lake, while the northern reaches include the distinct terrain of Hog Valley. The map detail follows the meandering course of Mill Cr and various millponds, such as Waldron Millpond, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to both water management and the timber resources of the surrounding forest.
