2018 Map of Shady

About this map

Ocala extends its southern suburban reach into this Marion County landscape, where residential development and aviation infrastructure meet the preserved corridor of the Cross Florida Greenway - I-75 Overpass. The settlement of Marion Oaks defines the southern portion of the sheet, characterized by a dense grid of residential streets like SW 144th State Rd, illustrating the rapid expansion of planned communities in central Florida during the early 21st century. To the west, the natural terrain of Ross Prairie provides a stark contrast to the surrounding development. The area's local aviation history is well-represented by both the Shady International Airport near the community of Shady and the McGinley Airport further south, highlighting the importance of private and regional flight in this part of the state.
