About this map

Ocklawaha Lake and the Ocklawaha River dominate this Central Florida landscape, reflecting the complex water management history of the region. The map documents the engineering of the Cross Florida Barge Canal and the presence of the Rodman Dam, which transformed the local hydrology. North of the river, the terrain is marked by numerous smaller water bodies such as Twin Lakes and Hardesty Lake, and large marshy areas like Cow Heaven Bay and The Slash.

Settlement patterns are concentrated around Interlachen and Hollister, while the southern portion transition into the Ocala National Forest. Genealogists may find interest in the King-Strickland-Walker Cem and Hollister Cem. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and the U S Naval Reservation Rodman Bombing Range indicates the area's varied history of transportation and military use in the late 20th century.
