About this map

Interlachen and the surrounding lake country of Putnam County define this 1949 topographic survey, capturing a landscape dominated by sandhills and a dense network of water bodies. The rail corridor of the Seaboard Coast Line connects small settlements like Keuka, Edgar, and Johnson, serving as the primary infrastructure for the area’s clay mining and citrus-era economy. Local spiritual life is evident through the placement of Mt Bethel Ch, Edgar Community Ch, and Woodlawn Ch near these rail stops.

To the south, the terrain shifts as the Oklawaha River and Oklawaha Lake form a watery boundary with the Ocala National Forest. Along this southern edge, Orange Springs and Fort Brook Landing represent historical points of interest near the river's edge. The map also records early land use such as the Lands End Ranch and numerous named ponds like Higginbotham Lake and Darkwater Lake, providing a detailed view of the region before modern development.
