2012 Map of Lake Dias

About this map

De Leon Springs Heights serves as the primary residential hub in this interior Volusia County landscape, situated near the famous Ponce de Leon Springs and Spring Garden Lake. The geography is defined by a dense network of water bodies, including the centrally located Lake Dias and its smaller neighbors like Lake Winona and Lake Odom. The presence of several historic burial grounds, such as Lake Dias Cem, Clifton Cem, and the Mount Olive Primitive Baptist Cem, provides valuable reference points for genealogists and local historians tracking family lineages in the region. North of the residential areas, the terrain transitions into a mosaic of wetlands and named landforms like Banks Island and Pine Island, navigated by rural corridors such as Old Perkins Hwy. This 2012 survey illustrates the mix of recreational camps like Camp Winona, small-scale aviation at Lafayette Landings Airport, and the preservation of landmarks like the De Leon Lookout Tower.
