1953 Map of Lake Poinsett SW

About this map

St Johns River headwaters define this central Florida landscape, where the convergence of Brevard, Orange, and Osceola counties marks a labyrinth of marsh and creek systems. Surveyed in the early 1950s with updates through the late 1970s, the map illustrates an era of water management and land use, evidenced by the extensive Levee and Spoil Bank structures near Lake Poinsett. The presence of the K6 Ranch and an Old Railroad Grade suggests the transition from early timber or cattle transport to more modern ranching and conservation efforts.
