About this map

Fort McCoy and the neighboring community of Eureka serve as the primary hubs in this corner of Marion County, where the dense wetlands of the Ocala National Forest meet the winding course of the Ocklawaha River. The landscape is a complex network of hydrologic features, from the flowing Dead River and Daisy Cr to the quiet waters of Graveyard Lake, Silver Lake, and Lake Lynne. Genealogists will find several notable burial grounds, including Fort McCoy Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and Eureka Cem, which anchor the local history of these rural Florida settlements.

Industrial and transport patterns are defined by the timbered swamp and prairie lands, with names like Oakie Head, Mason Bay, and Parramore Prairie indicating the varied terrain. The map captures the interface between protected forest land and the residential growth near Cedar Creek, providing a detailed look at the rural road network including Co Rd 316 and Co Rd 315 as they bridge the river and connect these long-standing communities.
