About this map

The suburban development of Seminole County is clearly visible in this survey, where the expansion of Casselberry and Altamonte Springs began to link formerly distinct citrus and cypress landscapes. The region's character is defined by its massive density of water bodies, from the sprawling Lake Jessup on the eastern edge to smaller pocket lakes like Fairy Lake, Lake Kathryn, and Lake Griffin. The central corridor is anchored by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and the Pennsylvania Parkway, which served as the primary arteries for a growing population moving into new residential tracts.

Local landmarks of the early 1960s illustrate a era of regional recreation and social infrastructure, featuring the Sanford-Orlando Kennel Club and the Seminole Park Raceway. Genealogists and local historians can locate early religious and educational centers such as Ebenezer Ch and Lyman High Sch, as well as the transition from natural features like Eureka Hammock to more structured environments including Big Tree Park and the Longwood Memorial Gardens.
