About this map

The Ocala National Forest dominates this landscape in northern Florida, where a complex network of recreational paths and forestry roads weaves through the subtropical terrain. The area is defined by its diverse hydrology, ranging from the flowing Ocklawaha River in the northeast to the still waters of Lake Delancy and Lake Kerr near the southern boundary. Distinctive open spaces like Buckskin Prairie provide contrast to the wooded sections, while smaller water bodies such as Penner Ponds and Prairie Pond dot the map.

Transportation and recreation are central to this 2015 survey, highlighted by the passage of the Florida National Scenic Trail and specialized routes like the Motorcycle Trail and Delancy Loops. Small settlements such as Riverside Island and Kerr City sit on the periphery of the forest, reflecting the historical human footprint in a region largely dedicated to conservation and public land management. This map illustrates the intersection of wild Florida wetlands and the infrastructure required to navigate and maintain the forest interior.
