1953 Map of Lake Jessamine

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Big Sand Lake and its surrounding wetlands dominate the western landscape of this Orange County region, illustrating the transition from natural citrus-era hydrology to mid-century suburban expansion. The 1970 photo-revisions highlight the rapid growth of communities like Tangelo Park and Sky Lake, appearing as purple-tinted urban extensions against the original 1953 survey. The infrastructure of the era is clearly marked by the Florida's Turnpike Toll Road cutting across the center, supported by a network of tollgates and substations.
