2018 Map of Rodman

About this map

Lake Ocklawaha dominates the southern landscape, marking a significant hydrological feature where the Ocklawaha River meets the Cross-Florida Barge Canal. This area of Putnam County is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and wetlands, ranging from the northern cluster of Twin Lakes and Hasenjaeger Lake near Interlachen to the vast swampy stretches of The Slash and Cow Heaven Bay. The northern portion of the Ocala National Forest extends into the southwest corner, preserving the natural character of the terrain near Blue Springs. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground between these aquatic systems, with the community of Hollister situated along the northern corridor and the historic settlement of Rodman positioned near the canal's eastern reach. A intricate web of named rural tracks like Possum Walk Rd and Hollister Cemetery Rd provides access to these forested and lakeside reaches, reflecting a region deeply tied to its wetlands and protected timberlands.
