2012 Map of Farles Lake

About this map

Farles Prairie and its surrounding wetlands anchor this study of the Ocala National Forest interior as it appeared in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by its characteristic Florida karst topography, where scattered basins like Farles Lake and the Sink Hole Ponds mark a terrain of fluctuating water levels. Small, named watering points such as Greens Waterhole and Yearling Pond suggest the traditional use of these lands for timber and livestock before their preservation as national forest.
