2015 Map of Sanford SW

About this map

Wekiva River corridors and expansive conservation lands define this Central Florida landscape where Lake, Orange, and Seminole Counties meet. The 2015 survey reveals a distinct contrast between the preserved wetlands of The Prairie and the modern residential footprints of Alaqua Lakes and Markham. Significant water features, including Black Water Cr, Seminole Cr, and Rock Springs Run, weave through the terrain, illustrating the hydrological complexity of the region. The map tracks the Florida National Scenic Trail as it traverses the wooded areas near Ethel, offering a detailed view of the interface between wilderness and suburban development. Numerous small water bodies like Lake Markham, Yankee Lake, and Sawyer Lake are scattered throughout the eastern half, many of which serve as central focal points for local communities.
