About this map

The Saint Johns River serpentines through a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and protected conservation lands. On its western bank, the Ocala National Forest borders the water, while the Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge encompasses the eastern wetlands, including Lake Woodruff and Lake Dexter. This environment is characterized by complex hydrography, featuring numerous oxbows and secondary channels such as Deadmans Bend, Revolving Bend, and the Norris Dead River.

Settlement patterns are concentrated along the southern and western edges, away from the core marshlands. Small communities like Fullerville, Crows Bluff, and Lake Kathryn Heights provide a look at the residential development of Lake County. The presence of the Deep Woods Ranch Airport and the historical crossing at Whitehair Bridge highlight the region's transport links. Inland, the St Francis Trail cuts through the forest near the site of Saint Francis, reflecting the area's long-standing connection between the river and the surrounding woods.
