2021 Map of Aurantia

About this map

Buck Lake and its vast surrounding wetlands dominate this landscape along the border of Volusia and Brevard counties. This area is characterized by an intricate network of water bodies, including Salt Lake, Loughman Lake, and the expansive Spruce Creek Swamp. The settlement of Aurantia sits near the eastern edge, while the site of Southmere is located further south along the modern path of West Main Street. Modern recreational and conservation efforts are evident through the East Central Regional Rail Trail and the Seminole Ranch Conservation Area Trail, which utilize the corridor of a former rail line. The presence of Puzzle Lake and Shad Creek indicates the seasonal fluctuations of the St. Johns River basin, showing how the environment continues to shape local infrastructure and land use.
