Apopka Florida South Apopka Zellwood USGS Topo Map 1972

$48

This USGS 7.5-minute topographic map is a 1960 edition printed in 1972, in very good condition with a midsheet horizontal foldline and printed on thick stock. Covering an area about 15 miles northwest of Orlando in Orange County, the quad takes in Apopka along with South Apopka, Zellwood, Paradise Heights, Tangerine, and the community of Plymouth. The map area shows no markings or blemishes, and the mapping dates to a time when this stretch of central Florida was still known for its citrus groves and nursery country rather than Orlando’s suburban sprawl.
