2012 Map of Orangedale

About this map

The Saint Johns River defines the southwestern edge of this northern Florida landscape, where the tidal marsh and inland creek systems meet expanding residential development. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from traditional riverfront settlements like Orangedale to the growing suburban networks extending from Pine Bluff. Historical crossing points remain noted along the waterways, including Blacks Ford and Whites Ford on the upper reaches of Trout Cr, while the interior terrain is marked by distinctive features such as Fever Hammock and Gopher Island. In the eastern portion of the quadrangle, the community of Sampson is anchored by the Sampson Cem, providing a focal point for genealogical research. The map also traces the drainage patterns of numerous branches, including Molasses Br and Bowen Br, which carve through the low-lying terrain toward the Durbin Cr basin.
