About this map

Wekiwa Springs State Park anchors the northern reaches of this survey, protecting the headwaters of the Rock Springs Run and the area surrounding Wekiwa Springs. To the south, the landscape is defined by an intricate network of residential growth and pocket lakes that characterize the suburban development north of Orlando. High-density neighborhoods such as Weathersfield, Riverside Acres, and Orienta Gardens fill the gaps between hundreds of small water bodies like Lake Brantley and Bear Lake.

This 2012 record captures the modern infrastructure of Seminole and Orange Counties, where early settlements like Piedmont and Lakeville have been absorbed into a continuous residential fabric. Significant landmarks including Sanlando Springs and the secluded Druid Isle stand as evidence of how the region's unique hydrology, featuring lakes ranging from the large Lake Lotus to the tiny Cub Lake, has dictated the placement of subdivisions and major thoroughfares.
