1962 Map of Casselberry

About this map

The lake-strewn corridor of Seminole County undergoes significant suburban expansion in the early 1960s, a transformation tracked by the Department of the Interior through detailed topographic updates. At the center of this landscape, Casselberry and Longwood are surrounded by a dense network of water bodies, from the sprawling Lake Jessup on the eastern edge to smaller pools like Fairy Lake and Lake Kathryn. The presence of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and the Sanford-Orlando Kennel Club highlights the area's dual character as a transit hub and a recreational destination. Cultural landmarks such as Mt Olive Ch and Lyman High Sch serve the growing residential clusters in Altamonte Springs and Fern Park, while specialized sites like the Seminole Park Raceway and the Go-Cart Track reflect the mid-century leisure economy. Even as development encroaches, natural features like Mecca Hammock and Big Tree Park persist alongside industrial markers such as several claypits.
