About this map

Kerr City sits at the southern edge of this Central Florida landscape, situated on the northern shores of Lake Kerr within the protected expanse of the Ocala National Forest. Surveyed in 1970, the map illustrates a region defined by its hydrography and varying terrain, from the marshy wetlands of Buckskin Prairie to the elevated ground of Riverside Island. The Oklawaha River meanders through the northeastern corner, bordering a restricted U.S. Naval Reservation.

Transport through this pine and scrub environment is marked by numerous paths like the Norwalk Trail and various Jeep Trails that connect remote water bodies such as Penner Ponds and Prairie Pond. The inclusion of the Grassy Pond Recreation Area and a lakeside Campground reflects the mid-century development of the forest for public use while maintaining the isolation of the surrounding Marion and Putnam County borderlands.
