Unlike the portions in Alachua, Bradford. Columbia and Hamilton Counties, which occupy a slope between the high flatwoods on the east and the less elevated lime-sink region on the west, the portion south of Orange Lake has sandy lime-sink country on both sides of it, and is more or less interrupted, like a row of fertile islands in a sea of sand. The difference in elevation is not very marked, but the hammock belt averages a little higher than adjacent portions of the lime-sink region. Geology and Topography. In this belt the Ocala limestone, ol uppermost Eocene age, comes to the surface in many places, and as it is usually pure enough to dissolve readily, and considerably. Fig 12. Pit of Florida Lime Co., near Ocala. By E. H. Sellards, Feb- ruary, 1910. elevated above the ground-water level, there are numerous sinks, caves, and subterranean streams. The limestone is quarried in several places (fig. 12), and mostly burned for lime. Some of the hills are partly capped by a friable sandstone of uncertain Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Florida Geological Survey.
