About this map

Rock Springs Run State Reserve and Wekiwa Springs State Park dominate the northern landscape of this mid-1990s Florida survey, preserving the natural hydrological character of the region. This area, known for its artesian flow and spring-fed runs, stands in stark contrast to the burgeoning residential density developing to the south. The suburban expansion of Altamonte Springs and Longwood is evident through an intricate web of roads like Balmy Beach Rd and Maitland Blvd, which wrap around a dense concentration of water bodies including Bear Lake and Lake Brantley.

Local educational and community landmarks are well-represented, including the Forest Lake Academy and the Highland Memory Garden cemetery. The transition from natural conservation areas to organized settlements like Forest City and Piedmont illustrates the late-century growth patterns of the Orlando metropolitan fringe. Notable smaller features like the Greater New Providence Ch and several golf courses highlight the social and recreational infrastructure of the era.
