1895 Map of Tsala Apopka

About this map

Inverness serves as the focal point of this late 19th-century survey, situated at the edge of the complex wetlands and island systems of Henderson Lake. The landscape is dominated by the intricate, multi-lobed Tsala Apopka Lake, where numerous named islands like Gospel Island and Duval Island indicate a region deeply tied to its water-bound geography. The map records a period of early infrastructure development, showing the Savannah Florida and Western R. R. cutting northwest through Hernando and Cordeal, while the South Florida R. R. extends south from the county seat.
