About this map

Fort McCoy serves as the primary settlement in this north-central Florida landscape, surrounded by a complex network of wetlands and river landings. The Oklawaha River meanders through the center of the sheet, its course defined by numerous landings such as Sunday Bluff, Gores Landing, and Osceola Landing, which hint at the region's historic river-based transport and fishing economy. To the east, the Ocala National Forest covers a significant portion of the terrain, marked by Mason Bay and the expansive Parramore Prairie.

Water is the defining characteristic of this 1970 environment, from the cluster of lakes near the town site—including Silver Lake, Grass Lake, and Albritton Lake—to the more isolated Graveyard Lake and Mc Quaig Lake further east. Evidence of rural life and recreation is found at the Fore Lake Recreation Area and a small Cem near Hulls Creek, while a network of Jeep Trails and an Old Grade provide access through the dense pine and scrub brush typical of the Florida interior.
