2021 Map of Shady

About this map

Ocala's southern suburban expansion is the primary focus of this modern landscape, where residential developments like Marion Oaks and the namesake community of Shady occupy the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. The area's transportation and aviation infrastructure is well-defined, featuring the Shady International Airport and McGinley Airport interspersed among a dense network of suburban roads including Paddock Pkwy and SW College Rd. To the west, the open expanse of Ross Prairie provides a distinct natural contrast to the grid-heavy residential sectors. This 2021 record highlights the transition from traditional Florida ranch and prairie lands into a complex system of contemporary neighborhoods and transit corridors that define modern Marion County.
