About this map

The Wekiwa River and its headwaters at Wekiwa Springs State Park define the northern portion of this Central Florida landscape. To the south, the terrain transitions into a dense concentration of lakes and expanding mid-century suburban settlements. The influence of the Seaboard Coast Line and an Old Railroad Grade illustrate the region's evolving transportation network, supporting towns like Altamonte Springs, Longwood, and Apopka. Significant local landmarks include the Forest Lake Academy and Highland Memory Garden, alongside numerous water bodies such as Bear Lake and Lake Brantley. The map also documents community institutions like Mt Tabor Ch and Greater New Providence Ch, providing a detailed view of the social and hydrological fabric of the area before the most intensive modern development.
