About this map

Ocala's westward expansion into the horse country of Marion County is documented here during a period of significant suburban and institutional growth. The landscape is a dense grid of residential developments and master-planned communities, including Ocala Ridge, Ocala Thoroughbred Acres, and Bahia Oaks, which surround the central hub of Ocala International Airport-Jim Taylor Field.

Several local landmarks and institutions are well-established, such as the College of Central Florida and the Marion County Criminal Justice Complex. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its mapping of numerous burial grounds, ranging from the historic Carter Cem and Mount Tabor Cem in the north to the Lincoln Memorial Gardens of Ocala and Evergreen Cem near the city center. These sites, alongside landmarks like Scott Spring and Lake Louise, provide essential reference points for tracing the area's mid-to-late 20th-century development.
