1968 Map of Ocala West

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The western edge of Ocala dominates this late-1960s landscape, where urban development meets horse country and industrial quarrying. The city's growth is evident near Central Florida Jr College and Howard High Sch, while the expansive Ocala Municipal Airport Jim Taylor Field anchors the southwestern quadrant. To the north and west, the terrain rises toward Mt Tabor, peppered with numerous limestone quarries and specialized agriculture, including the Golden Hills Turf and Country Club. Transportation networks are heavily represented by the Seaboard Coast Line and remnants of the past like the Old Railroad Grade. This survey captures a moment of transition for Martel and the surrounding area, balancing community landmarks like Lincoln Mem Cem and Good Shepherd Memorial Gardens (Cem) against the encroaching suburban footprint of Ocala Ridge.
