1953 Map of Narcoossee NW

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Wide Cypress Swamp and a network of wetlands dominate this Central Florida landscape, illustrating the intricate hydrology of Orange County before widespread suburban expansion. The survey captures the area at a transition point where natural drainage like Boggy Branch and Turkey Creek meets engineered features such as the Disston Canal and the Spoil Bank. The southern portion of the sheet is anchored by the large open waters of Lake Hart and Lake Mary Jane, with Crosby Island rising from the surrounding marsh. Evidence of early infrastructure and settlement appears through the Old Railroad Grade and Magnolia Ranch, while 1980 photorevisions highlight the introduction of the Bee Line Expressway (Toll Road) slicing through the cypress stands, marking the shift toward modern regional connectivity.
