1916 Map of Interlachen

About this map

Interlachen stands at the center of this 1915 survey, surrounded by an intricate landscape of prairie and hundreds of small, sandy-bottomed lakes. This region of Florida is characterized by its high concentration of water bodies, including the large Lake Grandin and Cowpen Lake, which dictated the early settlement patterns and rail routes. The Atlantic Coast Line and the Georgia Southern And Florida Road serve as the primary transport arteries, connecting towns like Florahome and Melrose to the wider state.
