19th century cadastral survey of lands near Ocklawaha and Lake Weir, Florida

DESCRIPTION: SOLD

19th century manuscript cadastral survey map of lands near Lake Weir and Ocklawaha, Florida, about 16 miles southeast of Ocala. Ocklawaha, on the north coast of Lake Weir is notorious as the location where the Barker-Karpis gang also known as the Ma Barker gang maintained a hideout at 3250 East Highway C-25. On January 16, 1935 the FBI opened fire on the house killing Ma Barker and her son Fred. The house has recently been moved off the property.

Surveys of the Florida Peninsula from this era are scarce.

Named locations on this old survey include nearby Little Lake Weir, Bower Lake, Hamock Pond, Coon Pond, Silver Lake, Fig Lake, Saddleback Lake, Prospect Lake, and a railroad depot. Ocklawaha is not named. Dates on this MS map including 1880 and 1898 suggest usage of the map over a long period. Names of property owners include Mitchell, Cooper, Taylor, Williams, and many more.
