2018 Map of Lake Poinsett SW

About this map

Taylor Cr Reservoir and the headwaters of the St. Johns River system dominate this Central Florida landscape along the border of Orange and Osceola counties. The terrain is characterized by an intricate drainage network including Orange Branch, Beef Camp Br, and Gator Branch, which feed into the wider basin near Lake Poinsett. This 2018 survey reveals a transition between rural land use and water management, with long-standing access routes like Tram Rd and Taylor Woods Rd cutting through the marshy lowlands. The survey highlights the essential hydrology of the region, where numerous small creeks like Cox Creek and Garrett Br converge to form the distinctive wetlands typical of the upper St. Johns River valley. The area remains largely undeveloped, defined by its water bodies and the straight-line section boundaries of the Public Land Survey System.
