About this map

The town of Pierson anchors this survey of central Florida's fern-growing region, characterized by a complex network of small lakes and dedicated conservation lands. The landscape is defined by its water bodies, including Lake Pierson, Shaw Lake, and Cain Lake, which are interspersed with the dense wetlands of the Lake George State Forest. In the northern section, the concentration of historical sites such as Methodist Cem, Mount Zion Primitive Baptist Cem, and Ebenezer Lutheran Cem provides a significant record of the community's early settlers and congregational history.

Transportation and commerce follow the CSX Transportation rail corridor, passing through settlements like Eldridge and Barberville. To the east and south, the map reveals the protected reaches of the Heart Island Conservation Area and the northern tip of De Leon Springs State Park. The transition from the developed center around the Pierson Municipal Airport to the wilderness of Jones Island and Deep Creek illustrates the balance between agricultural utility and environmental preservation in this part of Volusia County.
