1970 Map of Fort Mc Coy

About this map

The settlement of Fort McCoy sits at the heart of this North Central Florida landscape, a region defined by its complex network of lakes and swampy lowlands. Revised in the early 1990s from original 1969 photogrammetry, this record illustrates a rural environment where land and water are inextricably linked. The small community of Eureka appears in the northeast, positioned near the shifting hydrology that characterizes the Marion County interior. This map is particularly valuable for documenting the specific footprints of these unincorporated communities before later 20th-century developments, showing the sparse residential clusters and road networks that supported local life in this humid, freshwater-rich terrain.
