About this map

The St Johns River winds through a vast expanse of wetlands and lakes at the intersection of Brevard, Volusia, Seminole, and Orange Counties. This area is defined by its complex hydrologic system, where Silver Lake, Loughman Lake, and Ruth Lake feed into the river's main channel. The presence of the Delespine Grant boundary across the eastern marshes reflects early land tenure patterns in this part of Florida.

Modern infrastructure, such as the Cheney Highway, cuts across the terrain, passing landmarks like the Flowing Well and a Gaging Station. Toward the south, the landscape transitions into the St Johns National Wildlife Refuge, where features like Paw Paw Mound and Tootoosahatchee Creek highlight the persistence of native names and ecological preserves amidst the expanding drainage networks of the mid-20th century.
