About this map

Deer Park serves as the primary point of settlement in this part of Osceola County, located along the route of Highway 192. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of wetlands and seasonal watercourses, where the wide floodplains of Bull Creek and Crabgrass Creek converge. These drainages define the local topography, with numerous small hammocks and depressions scattered throughout the terrain.

Evidence of local hydrology and land use is visible through the Gaging Station on Crabgrass Creek and various wells located near the settlement and along the creek margins. Smaller bodies of water like Clay Lake and Billy Lake dot the southern and eastern portions of the quadrangle, while named tributaries such as Jane Green Creek, Yoke Branch, and Tracey Branch further illustrate the intricate drainage patterns of the Florida interior during the mid-1950s.
