Description: This detail of a 1850 map from the New Universal Atlas shows towns, forts, roads, canals, major rivers and lakes in Marion County. The map is very similar to the 1839 map from Tanner's Universal Atlas. There are references to forts, battlefields, and routes used by the Army during the Seminole War. Many lakes are labeled on this detail, such as Lake Ahapopka, Lake Eustis, and Lake George. The Ocklawaha River connects this chain of lakes.
