About this map

The community of Bithlo and the neighboring settlement of Christmas define the eastern interior of Orange County in this 2018 survey. The landscape is a intricate network of wetlands and water bodies, most notably Lake Pickett, Lake Louise, and the sprawling Puzzle Lake along the northern edge of the quadrangle. For those studying the outdoors or local geography, the Florida National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern half of the map, crossing Joshua Cr and Christmas Cr as it traverses the low-lying terrain.

A network of local creeks including Tootoosahatchee Cr, Long Br, and Neal Cr drain this marshy region, illustrating the hydrologic character of the St. Johns River basin area. Near the village of Christmas, the Christmas Cem is documented, serving as a significant point of interest for genealogists. Residential expansion is visible in the southwestern quadrant, where newer street grids contrast with the open, undeveloped basins surrounding Sandhill Crane Lake and Lake Drawdy.
