2021 Map of North of Gum Slough

About this map

Fellsmere and its surrounding wetlands are the central focus of this 2021 study, revealing the managed landscape of Indian River County. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the organized grid of the settlement, including the Fellsmere Airport, while the western edge is defined by the expansive waters of Blue Cypress Lake. This transition from municipal planning to wild conservation land is bridged by an extensive network of trails, such as the Blue Cypress Conservation Area Trl and the Fort Drum Marsh Conservation Area Trl. The map illustrates how human infrastructure like Co Rd 512 and 79th St interacts with the Florida marshland. For researchers, the clearly delineated township boundaries including t30s r36e and t33s r37e offer precise geographic context for land use and conservation boundaries in this section of the state.
