2021 Map of Lake Weir

About this map

Lake Weir dominates the southern landscape of this Marion County survey, serving as a focal point for lakeside communities and residential development. Along its northern and eastern shores, settlements like Ocklawaha, Hampton Beach, and East Lake Weir show a established pattern of water-frontage living. This area reflects a classic Florida mix of recreation and aviation, with small landing strips such as Back Achers Airport and Johary Airport serving the local population. To the north, the terrain transitions into the protected wetlands and pine flatwoods of the Ocala National Forest and the Ocklawaha Prairie Preserve. The Ocklawaha River winds through the northeast corner, connecting several smaller water bodies like Lake Deon and Moss Bluff Pond. The map also captures the local history found at the Ocklawaha Community Cem and the residential expansion of Silver Springs Shores and Candler.
