About this map

St Johns Marsh dominates this landscape along the border of Osceola and Brevard counties during the early 1950s. The region is defined by a complex network of wetlands and hydraulic engineering, where a massive Spoil Bank and long Levee systems reflect mid-century efforts to manage the flow of the St Johns River. Scattered throughout this watery expanse are elevated hammocks and islands such as Camp Island and Jug Island, while human activity is evidenced by a Pumping Station and several sites marked as Flowing Well.
