About this map

Ocala and its eastern surroundings are depicted here during a period of significant suburban expansion, where residential street grids increasingly weave through the karst topography and citrus-growing heritage of Marion County. The map is anchored by the natural wonders of Silver Springs, with the Silver River flowing eastward across the landscape. The layout of the city reveals a concentration of legacy sites, particularly in the vicinity of the Fort King Burial Grounds, which marks the vicinity of an influential 19th-century military outpost.

Fringe settlements like Oak, Huntington, and Maricamp show the transition from rural outskirts to integrated neighborhoods. To the south, the developments at Silver Springs Shores and the historic footprint of Camp Roosevelt highlight the region's mid-century growth patterns. The map also meticulously labels numerous cemeteries, such as Woodlawn Cem and Highland Memorial Park Woodlawn Cem, providing valuable spatial data for those researching family history in the Ocala area.
