About this map

Ocala National Forest dominates this Central Florida landscape, where the sandy scrub terrain is punctuated by numerous isolated ponds and extensive prairies. The Ocklawaha River defines the western edge of the survey, flowing past the settlement at Moss Bluff. This region, characterized by its unique hydrological features, includes broad open areas such as Sellers Prairie and Gardners Prairie, which stand out among the dense forest cover. Further south, the residential development of Silver Springs Shores East contrasts with the preserved wilderness nearby.

A network of recreational paths, including the Sunnyhill Restoration Area Trl and the Prairie Riding Loop Trl, weaves through the pine and scrub. Notable water bodies like Lake Mary, Lake Catherine, and Doe Lake are primary landmarks within the forest boundaries. The map also identifies several distinctive low-lying features like Volusia Bear Hole and Greens Bear Hole, which are characteristic of the local karst topography and historical land use patterns.
