Geological Survey Water Resources Investigation Report number 01-4008, Ground-Water Quality of the Surficial Aquifer System and the Upper Floridan Aquifer, Ocala National Forest and Lake County, 1990-99, shows the physiography of the area based on works of W. A. White, 1970. The area is located in the Central Highlands topographical division, and contains three basic physiographic land forms— ridges, valleys, and uplands. The predominant features include parts of the Mount Dora and Lake Wales Ridges, which run parallel and are separated by the Central Valley. Also found in the region are the St. Johns River Offset, and the Marion, Sumter, and Lake Uplands. Source: J. C. Adamski and L.
