About this map

Ocala National Forest dominates this section of Marion County, where the landscape is defined by a dense concentration of isolated basins and seasonal wetlands. The map illustrates a complex hydrographic network, from the larger Lake Mary and Doe Lake to numerous smaller named depressions like Liddy Pond and Lake Bessiola. The western edge of the quadrangle follows the winding course of the Ocklawaha River, which serves as a natural boundary near the settlement of Moss Bluff.

Conservation and recreation are prominent themes, evidenced by the extensive Sunnyhill Restoration Area Trl and the intricate system of equestrian and hiking paths such as the Centennial Trl and Prairie Riding Loop Trl. Distinctive local place names for open glades, including Sellers Prairie and Gardners Prairie, reflect the region's historic cattle-grazing and hunting traditions. Geologic curiosities like Volusia Bear Hole and Greens Bear Hole further characterize the unique sinkhole-riddled terrain of the Big Scrub.
