About this map

Interlachen and the surrounding lake country of Putnam and Marion Counties are documented in this mid-century survey, which reveals a landscape defined by water and early transportation networks. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts through the northern half, connecting smaller settlements like Edgar and Johnson to the wider region. In the south, the Oklawaha River forms a natural boundary near Orange Springs, while the northern edge of the Ocala National Forest begins to emerge.

Social centers are scattered across the terrain, notably at Mt-Bethel Ch and the Oak Grove Sch. The map's hydrological detail is extensive, naming dozens of water bodies from Lake Keuka to the Hewitt Lakes, illustrating the wet, low-lying character of this part of Florida before later intensive development. Industrial and agricultural footprints appear as well, from the Sewage Disposal and Substation near Crossley to the rural Lands End Ranch.
