About this map

Ocala National Forest dominates this Central Florida landscape, revealing a complex network of equestrian trails and scenic pathways within the scrub and pine flatwoods. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the small settlement of Pittman near the shores of Lake Dorr, while further north, Camp Ocala serves as a notable landmark near the Marion and Lake County line. The map highlights the area's unique karst topography, featuring numerous basins and sinkholes such as Blue Sink, Sink Hole Ponds, and Greens Waterhole.

The recreational character of the forest is evident through the winding path of the Florida National Scenic Trail and various named routes like the Flatwoods Riding Loop and Centennial Trail. Significant water bodies including Farles Lake, Sellers Lake, and Nicotoon Lake punctuate the Farles Prairie region, illustrating the importance of these wetlands to the local ecology and geography of the mid-2010s.
