2012 Map of Orange City

About this map

The Saint Johns River defines the western edge of this landscape, winding through a complex of islands and cutoffs including Hontoon Island, Scrub Island, and Goat Island. On the mainland, the residential development of Orange City Hills and the historic settlement of Fatio sit atop a terrace dotted with numerous sinkhole lakes. This transition from the river’s swampy bottomlands, featuring the Snake Creek Cutoff and Blue Springs Run, to the elevated inland areas highlights the region's diverse hydrology. Local history is anchored by several long-standing burial grounds such as Lincoln Cem, Hollywood Cem, and the Missionary Baptist Church Cem. Landmarks like the Orange City Lookout Tower and the Coral Oaks Golf Course serve as modern community focal points, while the dense network of landings along the river, including Starks Landing and Emanuel Landing, points to the area's heritage as a riverfront corridor.
