Milanich and Hudson tentatively place Uqueten in a group of archaeological sites east of the Cove of the Withlacoochee in present-day northwestern Sumter County, close to where the expedition crossed the Cove of the Withlacoochee, and Ocale in a group of sites about five leagues ( 17 miles ) to the northeast, in what is now southwestern Marion County, close to the Withlacoochee River.
