1953 Map of Lake Poinsett

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The St Johns River winds through this central Florida landscape, connecting Lake Poinsett and Lake Winder during a period of significant water management. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the terrain is defined by its low-lying marshlands and the emerging infrastructure of canals and levees. Local life is concentrated near the water, with Lone Cabbage Camp and Poinsett Lodge serving as prominent landmarks for those navigating the river system. The eastern edge of the map shows the transition toward Rockledge, where the Pine Crest Cem and a Radio Tower provide fixed points on higher ground. Notable geographic features such as Mulberry Mound and several Flowing Wells suggest the historical importance of artesian water and elevated sites in this otherwise aquatic environment, while extensive Spoil Banks reflect the dredging activity that shaped the modern flow of the St. Johns.
