2015 Map of Forest City

About this map

Altamonte Springs and the surrounding central Florida suburbs occupy a landscape defined by an intricate network of freshwater lakes and spring-fed runs. The drainage of Rock Springs Run and the Wekiva River dominates the northern sector, leading to the well-known Wekiva Springs area. This 2015 survey illustrates the dense residential expansion between Apopka and Longwood, where modern developments are woven around historic water bodies like Lake Brantley and Lake Lotus. The map records the heavy infrastructure of the era, including the CSX Transportation rail line and major arteries like the Orange Blossom Trl. Smaller established communities such as Forest City, Piedmont, and Lockhart appear as integral parts of the metropolitan fabric, while landmarks like Sanlando Springs and Orienta Gardens highlight the region's long-standing connection to its natural hydrology.
