2018 Map of Lake Ashby

About this map

Lake Ashby dominates the central landscape of this Volusia County region, serving as a focal point for the small settlements of Alamana and Lake Ashby Shores. To the northeast, the outskirts of New Smyrna Beach and Edgewater reach into a network of low-lying wetlands and canals. The hydrologic patterns are clearly defined by the Samsula Canal and the Lake Ashby Canal, which manage the water flow across this flat coastal interior. To the southeast, the terrain transitions into the dense Spruce Creek Swamp, where isolated landforms like Watson Island and Rattlesnake Island emerge from the saturated environment. This survey captures a modern view of the area's rural residential development, where many roads like Alligator Ranch Rd and Dreamers Loop hint at the local character and land use of the late 2010s.
