About this map

The Saint Johns River corridor anchors this landscape, widening into the expansive Lake Poinsett and Lake Winder south of the developing outskirts of Cocoa. This 2018 survey reveals the distinct boundary between the low-lying wetlands of the river basin and the growing suburban grid of Cocoa West and Rockledge to the east. Within the residential blocks, the Pine Crest Cem and various local thoroughfares like King St and Dixon Blvd mark the encroachment of the Space Coast's urban footprint toward the river's edge.

The western portion of the map remains a complex network of marshes and smaller water bodies, including Lake Florence and Barnett Lake. This area is punctuated by Mulberry Mound, a notable terrain feature at the edge of the wetlands. Drainage and water management are evident through features like the Faulk Canal and Rockledge Cr, which navigate the flat, saturated terrain between the coastal ridge and the river system.
