1953 Map of Deer Park SE

About this map

North Indian Field, Middle Indian Field, and South Indian Field punctuate the vast wetland landscape of the St Johns Marsh, indicating a human presence that long predates modern engineering. This 1953 survey, later updated in 1980, documents a complex hydrological environment where the St Johns River meanders through expansive waters like Sawgrass Lake and Lake Hellen Blazes. The terrain is defined by the transition from the dense Jane Green Swamp in the west to the riverine system in the east. Infrastructure of the mid-20th century is evident through an Old Railroad Grade and numerous Spoil Banks, reflecting early efforts to manage the swampy environment of the Osceola and Brevard County line. The map captures the intricate network of canals, levees, and wells that began to define this interior Florida wilderness.
