2012 Map of Jernigans Pond

About this map

Agricultural development and rural transport networks define this section of Saint Lucie County in the early 21st century. The landscape is marked by a distinctive grid of drainage canals and field patterns, illustrating the intensive land management common to this region of Florida. Water management is centered around Gomez Cr and the namesake Jernigans Pond, which sit amidst a systematic layout of access roads. Major thoroughfares such as Orange Ave and NE 224th St provide the primary east-west framework for the area, while local routes like Tripples Ranch Rd and Boyds Rd serve the interior parcels. This survey documents the transition between ranching lands and more structured agricultural irrigation systems, revealing the precise geometric carving of the terrain into productive blocks.
