1962 Map of Casselberry

About this map

Lake Jessup anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, a region defined by its dense concentration of lakes and rapid mid-century suburban expansion. The transition from the rural groves of Eureka Hammock and Mecca Hammock toward the burgeoning centers of Longwood and Casselberry is visible in the network of secondary roads and local landmarks. Notable community sites include Mt Olive Ch, Lyman High Sch, and the Sanford Orlando Kennel Club. Commercial and recreational interests of the era are represented by the Seminole Park Raceway and a Drive-in Theater near the Seaboard Coast Line corridor. The map effectively documents the post-war infill as neighborhoods spread around Lake Wildmere, Lake Kathryn, and Lake Howell, illustrating the transformation of the central Florida interior through drainage and development.
