2024 Map of North of Gum Slough

About this map

Fellsmere serves as the primary hub of activity in this northern Indian River County landscape, characterized by its distinctive grid of canals and agricultural plots. The town's layout is supported by infrastructure like the Fellsmere Airport and local arteries such as 79th St and Co Rd 512. This region is defined by the significant hydrological influence of Blue Cypress Lake to the west and the meandering Gum Slough to the south. Much of the terrain is managed for preservation, containing portions of the Blue Cypress Conservation Area Trl and the Fort Drum Marsh Conservation Area Trl. These conservation corridors suggest a landscape where managed water systems and natural wetlands coexist, with the rigid drainage canal patterns of the north meeting the more fluid marshlands of the south.
