About this map

Lake George and the St Johns River anchor the heart of this East Florida landscape, illustrating the complex geography of the river's basin during the late 1970s. The map reveals the extensive wetlands and protected areas of the Ocala National Forest and the Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge, where numerous family-named islands like Hog Island and Drayton Island dot the waterways. On the Atlantic coast, the urbanization of Daytona Beach and Ormond Beach contrasts sharply with the interior's scattered agricultural and citrus settlements.

Industrial and transport corridors are well-defined, featuring the Seaboard Coast Line and Florida East Coast railroads. These lines once supported the growth of towns such as Bunnell, Seville, and De Land. The presence of the U S Naval Reservation and Bulow Ruins State Monument indicates a layering of military and historical heritage across the marshy terrain of Marshall Swamp and the Rima Ridge.
