2015 Map of Fort McCoy

About this map

Fort McCoy and Eureka anchor this northern Marion County landscape, situated near the winding course of the Ocklawaha River. The area is characterized by a dense network of water bodies, including Silver Lake, Graveyard Lake, and the larger Lake Lynne. Much of the eastern and southern portion of the quadrangle is preserved within the Ocala National Forest, where the Florida National Scenic Trail traverses the pine and oak scrub environment near Parramore Prairie. Genealogy researchers will find several well-documented burial sites such as the Fort McCoy Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and Eureka Cem, which reflect the long-standing community roots in the region. The map also captures the hydraulic complexity of the area, featuring named watercourses like Eaton Creek, Cedar Creek, and the Dead River, alongside distinctive terrain markers such as Sunday Bluff overlooking the river valley.
