2012 Map of North of Gum Slough

About this map

Blue Cypress Lake dominates the northwestern corner of this Florida landscape, where the marshy edges of the St. Johns River headwaters meet an organized grid of drainage and agriculture. The terrain transition is sharp, moving from the open water and natural wetlands of the lake into a strictly partitioned network of canals and straight-line roads such as 79th St and 154th Ave. This layout reflects the intensive land management and citrus-focused history of the Fellsmere area. Near the northern boundary, the Fellsmere Airport sits among the citrus groves, while Corrigan Rd tracks south through the heavy irrigation infrastructure that defines the region’s agricultural economy in the early 21st century.
