About this map

Tsala Apopka Lake dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its intricate network of islands and interconnected water bodies like Henderson Lake and Freds Lake shaping the layout of central Citrus County. This mid-century topography, updated in the late 1980s, reveals a period of significant growth around Inverness, with purple revisions highlighting residential expansion between the historic town center and the shoreline of Cooter Lake.

South of town, Fort Cooper State Park preserves the area around Fort Cooper Lake, while the expansive Withlacoochee State Forest borders the western edge of the quadrangle. Local infrastructure of the era is clearly marked, including a Landing Strip and a railroad line noted as Dismantled. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Dampier Cem and the small settlements of Arlington and Floral City, which maintain their distinct identities amidst the changing Florida landscape.
