1964 Map of Orange City

About this map

Hontoon Island State Park and the winding St Johns River anchor the western edge of this map, illustrating a landscape defined by its intricate river bends and swampy islands. The 1980 photorevision captures the expansion of Deltona and DeBary in the southeast, contrasting with the established grid of Orange City. These residential developments are seen encroaching on the lakes and pine lands, while the Seaboard Coast Line railroad maintains its north-south corridor through the center of the county. Local heritage is visible in landmarks such as Mt Terrain Ch, Hollywood Cemetery, and Blue Springs, a noted natural feature along the river. The map tracks the shift from a river-dependent economy to a growing interior suburban network, visible in the new street names of Orange City Hills and the transition of once-remote terrain into recreation areas like De Land Marina Park.
