2015 Map of Umatilla

About this map

The town of Umatilla and the northern reaches of Eustis anchor this landscape characterized by dozens of freshwater lakes and the sprawling southern boundary of the Ocala National Forest. The geography is defined by its water, from large bodies like Lake Yale and Lake Umatilla to smaller isolated basins like Lake Tutuola and Lake Blanchester. The settlement pattern follows the north-south corridor of the rail line and highways, connecting hubs like Altoona and Dona Vista with historic markers like Fort Mason. Cultural and infrastructure landmarks are prominent, including the Umatilla Municipal Airport and Umatilla High School. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, such as Altoona Hinson Cemetery and Lakeside Memory Gardens, while recreational spaces like Pine Meadows Golf Course and the Prairie Riding Loop in the forest show the transition toward a tourism-based economy.
