About this map

Lake Harris dominates the northeastern corner of this Lake County landscape, serving as a primary water body in a region defined by its dense network of lakes and ponds. The settlement of Howey-in-the-Hills occupies the shore of Lake Illinois, while the city of Groveland anchors the southern portion of the map along the Florida Turnpike and SR 19. The terrain is characterized by numerous enclosed basins, including Turkey Lake, Mulehead Lake, and Pumpkin Center Lake, which sit between low-lying rises like Booths Island.

Infrastructure for the early 21st century is well-represented, with residential grids expanding around Yalaha and Leesburg. Genealogists and local historians will find the Yalaha Cem and Taylor Memorial Cem clearly marked. The Palatlakaha River provides a drainage artery for the western lakes, flowing through a landscape of named groves and scattered settlements like Orange Blossom and Pumpkin Center.
