1952 Map of Samsula

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Samsula and the southwestern fringes of Port Orange define the human landscape of this Volusia County survey, which reveals a transition between established agricultural settlements and burgeoning coastal development. The meandering path of Spruce Creek flows toward the east, surrounded by the extensive Spruce Creek Swamp and the distinct elevation of Long Island. This 1952 document, updated with 1990s revisions, captures the infrastructure of the era, including the Samsula Canal and the Spruce Creek Airport. Educational centers like Spruce Creek High Sch. and Horizon Sch. indicate the residential growth reaching into the interior. The presence of several Borrow Pits and a Spoil Bank suggests the ongoing modification of the Florida wetlands for transport and drainage, providing a clear view of how the land was managed before the rapid modern expansion of the Atlantic coast.
