About this map

Lake Kerr and the surrounding pine scrub of the Ocala National Forest dominate this landscape in north-central Florida. The settlement of Kerr City sits on the northern shore of the lake, once a thriving citrus-growing center, while Point Pleasant occupies a small peninsula to the west. The map details a complex system of islands within the water, including Petes Island, Kerr Island, and Kauffmans Island.

South of the main lake, the terrain transitions into a mosaic of wetlands and smaller water bodies such as Mud Lake and Lake Eaton, which is fed by Eaton Creek. Cultural markers are sparse but significant for local history, notably the First Baptist Cem located near the eastern boundary. This modern survey tracks the Florida National Scenic Trl as it winds through the sand pine scrub, alongside established forest tracks like the Pipeline Trl.
