About this map

San Antonio and the neighboring community of St Leo form the cultural heart of this mid-century Florida landscape. Originally surveyed in 1954 and updated with aerial data in 1988, the map illustrates the area's transition as citrus groves and open prairies began to meet suburban expansion. Local religious and community centers are well-represented by several churches and burial grounds, including Amelia Ch, Alliance Ch, and the St Joseph Cem.

The hydrography of the region is defined by a dense network of water bodies such as King Lake, Clear Lake, and Hudson Lake, which are set against the broad expanses of Cypress Prairie and Thomas Prairie. Smaller settlements like Darby and Pasco are connected by a developing road network, while the inclusion of a Golf Course near the town centers highlights the evolving land use during the late twentieth century.
