About this map

Lake Harris and Lake Griffin dominate this central Florida landscape, framing the growth of Leesburg and Tavares. The area is defined by its complex hydrography, where the Palatlakaha River and Dead River connect a series of major lakes, creating numerous islands and points like Monkey Island and Johnsons Point. The map illustrates the transition from rural wetlands to established residential and educational centers, featuring Beacon College and the University of Central Florida Leesburg.

Logistics and infrastructure are centered around the Leesburg International Airport, while smaller communities like Bassville Park, Orange Bend, and Yalaha sit along the water's edge. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including Oak Grove Cem and Lane Park Cem. From the heights of Tomato Hill to the low-lying reaches of Treasure Island, the map shows a region shaped by its proximity to water.
