1944 Map of Interlachen

About this map

The town of Interlachen sits at the center of a dense cluster of lakes and ponds during the mid-1940s, serving as a hub for both the Atlantic Coast Line and Southern Railway. To the north, the settlement of Florahome marks the edge of the wetlands, while the southern boundary is defined by the Ocala National Forest and the northern reaches of Orange Springs. The map reveals a transition from the structured rail corridors of the north to the river-dependent landings of the south along the river.
