2021 Map of Fort McCoy

About this map

The Ocklawaha River and its meandering tributaries, including the Dead River and Daisy Cr, define this part of the Florida interior. Settlement is concentrated around Fort McCoy in the northwest and Eureka in the northeast, with much of the eastern landscape preserved within the Ocala National Forest. This modern survey reveals a complex hydrological network where the river system interacts with named wetlands and prairies like Oakie Head and Parramore Prairie. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed location of local burial grounds, including the Fort McCoy Cem, the Fort McCoy Negro Cem, and Eureka Cem. The transition from the established community of Cedar Creek to the expansive timberlands and lakes like Graveyard Lake and Lake Lynne shows a landscape deeply tied to its water resources and forest conservation history.
