About this map

Pierson serves as a central hub in this part of Volusia County, defined by its agricultural layout and numerous water bodies like Lake Pierson and Shaw Lake. The landscape is dotted with several small communities including Eldridge, Emporia, and Barberville, each connected by a grid of local roads and the primary corridor of US Route 17. The high concentration of local burial grounds, such as Mount Zion Primitive Baptist Cem and Ebenezer Lutheran Cem, suggests a deeply rooted local history and established family lineages.

Industrial and recreational footprints are evident at the Pierson Municipal Airport and the Camp Ticocchee Girl Scout Camp near Dew Drop Ln. To the south, the terrain shifts toward the wetlands surrounding Spring Garden Lake and the prominent Jones Island. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of rural Florida life, aviation infrastructure, and the natural lacustrine environment in the early 21st century.
