About this map

Lake Monroe dominates this Central Florida landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding settlements and transport infrastructure during the early twenty-first century. Along its southern shore, the dense urban grid of Sanford reveals a complex network of neighborhoods including Lincoln Heights, Dreamworld, and New Upsala. The area’s maritime and aviation history is clearly visible, with the Sanford Seaplane Base on the lakefront and the large expanse of the Orlando Sanford International Airport to the southeast.

Industrial and transit hubs like Rand Yard and Benson Junction underscore the region's role as a transportation corridor. Further west, the landscape transitions toward the Wekiva River, where older sites like Fort Florida stand near the Konomac Lake wetlands. For genealogists, the map identifies local landmarks such as Sanford Cem and Restlawn Cem, alongside several smaller communities like Bookertown and Saint Josephs that reflect the localized settlement patterns of Volusia and Seminole counties.
