2015 Map of Leesburg East

About this map

Leesburg and Tavares anchor this survey of Central Florida's lake-interspersed landscape, where the water is as much a part of the layout as the residential developments. The area is defined by the massive expanses of Lake Griffin to the northwest and Lake Harris to the south, connected by the narrow channel of the Dead River. This hydrographic network historically dictated settlement patterns, visible in the way communities like Sunnyside and Eldorado follow the high ground between the basins. The map captures the infrastructure supporting this region, from the Leesburg International Airport to the Lake-Sumter Community College campus. Notable landmarks like Tomato Hill and Monkey Island punctuate the terrain, while the Slater Cox Bridge provides a critical crossing over the marshes. The inclusion of Lane Park Cemetery and smaller hamlets such as Lisbon provides essential detail for local history and genealogical research.
