The Ocklawaha is a slow, dark, winding river in north-central Florida, and its sudden bends demanded close attention from the steamboat pilots who once ran it. Flowing through cypress swamps and tannin-stained blackwater, it served as a working route for passengers and freight in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and later as a way for tourists to reach the springs upstream. A scene named for one sharp turn points to the isolation that made the river both striking and hard to travel. Its dense, shadowed banks also show how much of this country remained wild in that period.
