About this map

Rima Ridge and Gopher Ridge define the interior landscape of this central Florida region, situated west of the Atlantic coast. The map illustrates a complex network of wetlands and seasonal drainages, including Bennett Swamp and the sprawling Tiger Bay. These hydrologic features, such as Stooping Saplings and Wampee Strand, reveal the natural drainage patterns of Volusia County before extensive modern development.

Human activity is concentrated along the margins, notably at Daytona Highridge Estates and around local infrastructure like the Radio Facility and Lookout Tower. The map provides a look at the transition between residential growth and the vast undeveloped strands, featuring landmarks like Old Clark Field and the northern reach of Middle Haw Creek. Extensive restricted zones across the marshlands indicate areas set aside for government or conservation purposes during the late twentieth century.
