1965 Map of Umatilla

About this map

Lake Yale and the southern reaches of the Ocala National Forest define this mid-1960s landscape, where the citrus-rich terrain of Lake County is punctuated by dozens of named water bodies. The Atlantic Coast Line railroad serves as the primary spine for development, linking the settlements of Umatilla, Altoona, and Dona Vista. The map reveals a community structured around its water, from the residential clusters at Silver Beach Heights to the numerous smaller basins like Lake Mary and Lake Enola that border the town centers.
