2021 Map of Orange City

About this map

The Saint Johns River corridor anchors this landscape, defining a complex network of wetlands and islands including Hontoon Island and Beresford Peninsula. This 2021 survey reveals a stark contrast between the preserved natural hydrology of Blue Spring State Park and the sprawling residential developments of Deltona and Debary. While Lake Beresford and Blue Springs Run represent the region's historic river-based economy and ecology, the growth of inland communities like Orange City Hills and the southern reaches of DeLand show modern urbanization. Cultural and genealogical markers are frequent, with several burial sites noted such as Missionary Baptist Church Cem, Hollywood Cem, and Evergreen Cem. The map traces the intricate water routes of the Snake Creek Cutoff and Starks Cutoff, providing a modern look at the shifting bends of the river, from Dutchmans Bend to Coxetters Bend.
