1972 Map of Astor

About this map

The St Johns River serves as the central artery for this region of Central Florida, winding north from Astor and Volusia toward the wide expanse of Lake George. This 1970s landscape is defined by the dense wetlands and pine flatwoods of the Ocala National Forest, which covers much of the western half of the map. Evidence of earlier transportation networks appears in the Old Railroad Grade running through Astor Park, reflecting a time when rail was as vital as the river for commerce.
