1972 Map of Lake Mary

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Oklawaha River carves through the western edge of this landscape, anchoring a region defined by complex hydrology and the expansive Ocala National Forest. The settlement of Moss Bluff sits near the river's bend, while the interior is marked by a distinctive pattern of named prairies and bear holes, such as Sellers Prairie and Volusia Bear Hole. These flat, open expanses contrast with a dense network of water bodies including Lake Mary, Lake Catherine, and Doe Lake. The presence of Big Scrub Camp and Camp Oklawaha suggests a mid-century character of outdoor recreation and forestry. To the north, Indian Prairie and Nancy Prairie illustrate the local nomenclature for these grassy openings. Human activity is evidenced by several claypits and a small Cem near the river, providing specific points of interest for local history researchers and genealogists tracing family ties to this corner of Marion County.
