1962 Map of Astatula

About this map

Sugarloaf Mountain rises prominently in the southwestern corner of this Lake County landscape, overlooking a dense concentration of smaller water bodies such as Gizzard Lake and Wolfs Head Lake. The settlement of Astatula is shown with its grid of streets, including Florida Avenue and Georgia Ave, while the Seaboard Coast Line railroad provides a critical transportation corridor through the central citrus and agricultural lands. To the east, the shoreline of Lake Apopka is defined by a system of drainage canals, including the Mc Donald Canal, and the Lake Apopka Lock and Dam. Small rural centers like Howey Height and Ferndale are captured alongside family-named landmarks like Summerall Lake and Saddle Bag Lake, showing the area's transition between lakeside farming and early residential growth.
