About this map

The unincorporated community of Samsula serves as the focal point for this Volusia County landscape, defined by its agricultural roots and systematic drainage. The Samsula Canal and various irrigation channels reflect a history of land management for farming, evidenced by local road names such as Watermelon Ln, Lettuce Ln, and Strawberry Ln. These namesake thoroughfares highlight the region's vegetable-growing heritage south of the more suburbanized margins of Port Orange.

Transitioning toward the Atlantic coast, the map shows the western edges of New Smyrna Beach and the specialized residential development around the Spruce Creek Airport. Local genealogy is anchored by the Friendship Cem and Spruce Creek Cem, while natural waterways like Spruce Creek and Crystal Creek provide a counterpoint to the rigid grid of the t16s r32e township boundaries. The contrast between planned communities like Villages of Royal Palm and the rural agricultural tracts of Long Island characterizes the county's modern expansion.
