1949 Map of Rodman

About this map

Interlachen and the surrounding pine lands of Putnam County are captured here in a period of significant hydrological and industrial transition. The map centers on the Ocklawaha Lake and the Oklawaha River, documenting the infrastructure of the Cross Florida Barge Canal as it cuts through the landscape. To the south, the Ocala National Forest begins at the Putnam Co Marion Co boundary, where Blue Springs and Cedar Landing sit along the riverbanks. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad runs through the northern reaches, connecting the small settlements of Hollister and Hunter. Notable land features include the curiously named Cow Heaven Bay and The Slash, while localized industry is marked by a Sawmill and the Ferry crossing near the county line.
