About this map

Beverly Hills and Citrus Springs anchor the northwestern reaches of this Florida survey, reflecting the expansion of mid-century residential footprints. The landscape is heavily marked by the region's extractive history, with numerous unnamed Mine sites concentrated along the eastern edge near Seaboll and Calphos. These industrial features are set against the complex shoreline of Tsala Apopka Lake and the nearby Prairie Lake.

Evidence of shifting transportation networks is found in the Dismantled railroad corridor passing through Holder and Harrison. Genealogists may find interest in the Burk Cem located north of Bevens, while the presence of a Golf Course and several Sewage Disposal Ponds illustrates the evolving land use as these communities grew. The transition from industrial mining to suburban development is clearly visible across the varied terrain of Two mile.
