About this map

Lake Weir dominates the southern landscape of this Marion County region, where the residential developments of Hampton Beach and East Lake Weir line its eastern shores. To the north, the Ocklawaha River winds through a dense network of wetlands and preserves, including the Ocklawaha Prairie Preserve and the western edge of the Ocala National Forest. This 2018 survey reveals a geography shaped by both extensive water bodies and modern aviation, with specialized landing strips like Woods and Lakes Airpark, Johary Airport, and the humorously named Back Achers Airport scattered across the terrain.

Small communities such as Candler, Ocklawaha, and Silver Springs Shores are connected by a grid of rural roads and residential lanes, many carrying local tree-based names like Locust Pass and Oak Rd. Local history is anchored by the Ocklawaha Community Cem, while the interior is dotted with numerous smaller lakes and sinks, such as Bowers Lake, Blue Sink, and Pecan Lake, illustrating the typical karst-influenced hydrology of central Florida.
