1964 Map of Orange City

About this map

The St Johns River defines the western edge of this landscape, creating a complex network of waterways including Snake Cr Cutoff, Huntoon River, and The Basin. This aquatic environment contrasts sharply with the upland settlements to the east, where Orange City and DeBary were established along the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. The 1970 photorevisions highlight the rapid expansion of Deltona in the southeast, characterized by a dense, planned street grid including Elkcam Blvd and Normandy Blvd. Notable local landmarks and community centers such as Mt Berrain Ch, Coleman Sch, and several cemeteries provide specific points of interest for genealogical research. The transition from the riverine environment of Huntoon Island to the burgeoning suburban developments around Lake Laponoca captures a pivotal moment of growth in this part of Florida.
