2015 Map of Intercession City

About this map

Celebration and the surrounding tourism-driven corridors of central Florida are captured in this 2015 study, illustrating the dense suburban development and high-capacity infrastructure of the new millennium. The landscape is defined by a complex network of planned communities and major transportation arteries including the Osceola Pky and Epcot Center Dr. Contrastingly, the drainage basins of Reedy Creek and Boggy Creek reveal a more primeval topography. Numerous islands such as Smokehouse Island, Salt Lick Island, and Orange Grove Island are scattered through these lowlands, suggesting the original character of the swampy interior before the arrival of massive vacation complexes. The map also documents the transition across county lines from Orange Co into Osceola Co and Polk Co, where residential growth like Reunion and ChampionsGate meets established locales like Intercession City.
