About this map

Lake Delancy and the surrounding pine-dominated terrain of the Ocala National Forest define this part of Marion County during the early 21st century. The landscape is a mosaic of sandy ridges and low-lying wetlands, marked by unique geological features like Riverside Island and Norwalk Island. Water is a central element of the map, from the winding course of the Ocklawaha River in the northeast to smaller basins like Penner Ponds and Prairie Pond.

Human activity here is largely centered on forest management and conservation, anchored by the Ocala Sand Pine Seed Orchard. The road network is composed primarily of designated forest routes, such as National Forest Rd 75 and National Forest Rd 77, which provide access to the vast interior of the preserve. To the east of the main lake, the open expanse of Buckskin Prairie stands out as a distinct ecological zone within the timberlands.
