2024 Map of Rodman

About this map

Rodman and Hollister anchor a landscape defined by the engineered and natural waterways of Putnam County. The northern reaches of the Ocala National Forest meet the southern edge of the map at the Ocklawaha River, which broadens into Lake Ocklawaha. This region is a critical intersection of Florida's hydrology and land management history, featuring the Cross Florida Barge Canal and the Caravelle Ranch Wildlife Management Area. The terrain transitions from the well-defined basins of Twin Lakes and Hardesty Lake in the north to the low-lying wetlands of The Slash and Cow Heaven Bay further east. Evidence of rural infrastructure is seen at the Oak Ridge Airport and a network of named tracks like Possum Walk Rd and Turkey Run Rd that navigate the drainages of Alligator Creek and Sweetwater Creek.
