About this map

Wekiwa Springs and its surrounding wetlands form a major ecological anchor in this northern Florida landscape, where the Wekiwa River begins its course. The map documents a complex transition from the protected waters of the Wekiwa Swamp and Rock Springs Run in the north to the dense suburban development of the Altamonte Springs area. This 2018 survey captures the intricate network of lakes that define local geography, including Lake Alma, Lake Cortez, and Mirror Lake, which are integrated into the residential and commercial fabric of Forest City and Maitland.

Institutional and community landmarks such as Highland Memory Gardens and the Univ of Central Florida Altamonte Springs campus appear alongside established neighborhoods like Sanlando Springs and Orienta Gardens. The path of the Little Wekiwa River and its various tributaries, such as Mill Cr and Carpenter Br, illustrate the hydrologic connectivity that persisted even as the region grew into a significant population center north of Orlando.
