1953 Map of Deer Park NE

About this map

St Johns River defines the landscape of this Central Florida corridor, winding through a complex system of marshes and wetlands between Lake Winder and Lake Washington. Based on 1950s surveys with 1970 revisions, the map illustrates the early engineering efforts to manage the river's floodplains, marked by several prominent Spoil Bank features along its course and drainage channels. The boundary between Osceola and Brevard counties cuts through this watery wilderness, where Pennywash Creek feeds into the main channel. Aside from scattered agricultural infrastructure such as a Well, the area remains dominated by its natural hydrology, capturing a moment before extensive suburban development reached these riverine reaches.
