About this map

The Wekiva Wild and Scenic River and its surrounding wetlands form a significant natural corridor in this modern survey of the Orange and Seminole County border. The landscape is a study in the juxtaposition of protected wilderness and rapid suburban development, with the Wekiva Springs State Park and Rock Springs Run State Reserve anchoring the northern half of the quadrangle. These preserves protect critical hydrology like Witherspoon Spring and Wekiva Swamp.

South of the park boundaries, the map reveals a dense network of residential communities including Forest City, Altamonte Springs, and Maitland. Local history is preserved in sites such as the Maitland Cem and Magnolia Homes Road Cem, while the region's education and commerce are represented by the University of Central Florida Altamonte Springs and the South Orange Blossom Trail. Numerous lakes, including Lake Brantley and Bear Lake, define the local topography and drainage patterns.
