1953 Map of Lake Poinsett

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The St Johns River winds through a vast expanse of marsh and open water, anchoring a landscape where the burgeoning urban footprints of Cocoa and Rockledge meet the river's wilder upper reaches. This 1950s-era survey captures the transition from traditional river life, represented by the Lone Cabbage Camp and Poinsett Lodge, to modern land-use patterns including extensive levee systems and spoil banks. Cultural features like Pine Crest Cem and a Golf Course sit on the higher ground of the eastern ridge, overlooking the complex wetland network of Lake Poinsett, Barnett Lake, and Lake Florence. The presence of Mulberry Mound suggests the long history of human habitation on the river’s edge, while numerous flowing wells indicate the hydrological character of the Floridan aquifer in the mid-century.
