About this map

Lake Poinsett and the Saint Johns River dominate this central Florida landscape, where the river system expands into wide, marshy basins. This 2015 record shows the suburban expansion of Cocoa and Rockledge pressing against the eastern banks of the river valley. The map documents a complex hydrological network including Lake Winder, Barnett Lake, and the Faulk Canal, illustrating the management of water in this low-lying region.

Genealogists and local historians will find the residential developments of Cocoa West well-defined, including the location of Pine Crest Cem. Cultural and prehistoric landmarks are also noted, such as Mulberry Mound situated along the northern marshes. The convergence of Brevard Co, Orange Co, and Osceola Co lines in the western portion of the map highlights the legislative geography that divides these riverine wetlands.
