About this map

Salt Lake and the intricate wetlands of the St. Johns River basin dominate this 2018 survey of the Florida landscape along the border of Volusia and Brevard counties. The settlement of Aurantia occupies the northeastern corner, characterized by a grid of residential streets like Blounts Ridge Rd and Harrison Rd near the modern highway corridor. This area transitions rapidly into a complex network of marshes and water bodies, including Loughman Lake, Buck Lake, and Ellis Lake.

Further south, the small community of Southmere sits along W Main St, surrounded by an expansive hydrologic system where Shad Creek and Sixmile Creek weave through the lowlands. The map reveals the delicate balance between coastal development and the vast interior wetlands that define this part of the state, tracing the natural contours of Puzzle Lake and Silver Lake as they existed before further environmental shifts.
