1952 Map of Samsula

About this map

Samsula serves as the primary community in this coastal Florida landscape, where the flat terrain is defined by its drainage and early aviation infrastructure. The Spruce Creek flows through the central portion of the map, and the presence of the Spruce Creek Airport reflects the post-war development of local airfields. The map captures a transition in transportation, showing an Old Railroad Grade alongside more modern road developments updated during the 1970 photorevision. Industrial activity is indicated by a Borrow Pit and a prominent Spoil Bank, illustrating how the land was being altered for construction or drainage. This survey provides a precise look at the rural character of Volusia County before extensive suburbanization, with large tracts of wetlands and marsh surrounding the established township.
