About this map

The St Johns River defines the western edge of this mid-1960s survey, winding through a complex of backwaters and named bends including Coxetters Bend and Florida Bend. To the east, the rising land supports the growing communities of Orange City and DeBary, which are anchored by a high concentration of freshwater lakes such as Lake Marie and Lake Anna Maria. The landscape reflects a mix of older river-based activity at Starks Landing and Huntoon Landing alongside the inland expansion of residential street grids like Elkcam Blvd and Normandy Blvd.

Preservation of local history is evident in the marking of Hollywood Cemetery and several country churches like Mt Berrah Ch. The presence of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad and the Blue Springs area underscores the region's long-standing role as a transportation and recreation hub. The map captures this Volusia County landscape just as modern subdivision patterns began to lace between the historic citrus groves and wetlands.
