This point of land is bordered on the west by the Tomoka River, and on the east by the Halifax River. Fortunately, a first-hand dLe^crd..p^bion_^f this jarea was made by Alvaro Mexia during the~year 1605. A translation of Mexia's description is as follows: "Continuing your way for a distance of five leagues (from a certain fresh-water lake) a footpath is taken through the gullies, traversing a wood of live-oaks, and you emerge at a bay which is called Nocoroco, where canoes are boarded. This bay has a gravelly bottom and there is a cove on the west side, and on the flats of the saj-od cove are_fpur villages. On the point of land extending on the south is the town of Nocoroco. A dense woods of live-oaks runs alongTt1ie"~west & ide of the bay, and along the east shore stretches a thorney thicket." (Higgs, 1951:270). Some changes have occurred in the area since Mexia's visit, but? the vegetation is remarkably similar to that of the oricymal description. In fact, Higgs reports that the live-oak stand mentioned by Mexia "... is still extant - a verdant oasis in the arid beach terrain (Ibid)," Griffin and Smith (1949:342-343) have reported that si^jn.iJficjint erosion of the area has taken place since the TsOSvisit. The gravel bottom of the bay is not apparent at this time, but the existing muck deposits in the bay could be representative of very recent deposition. This hypothesis is somewhat substantiated by the discovery of a brick plat­ form located on the west shore of the bay. This platform, presumably built between 1766 and 1835, was covered by approximately 9 inches of muck (Ibid). "In view of the evidence for the accumulation of muck around Tomoka Basin, it appears likely that Mexia's description of the bay as gravelly bottomed may also be correct. Deposits of coquina rock are common in this region; the point on which Nocoroco was located is underlain by it "(Griffin and Smith, 1949:343). They also characterize the extant vegetation on the site as indicative of a young hammock. This is due to the clearing of the area for agricultural purposes during the 18th century (Ibid:342). At the present time, the area, excepting the beach erosion, closely approximates the physical environment reported in 1605. The area is under public ownership, and has been preserved from the urban encroachment that has affected much of Volusia County. Some drainage canals have been cut through the marsh areas as part of the local mosquito control program. PERIOD (check One or More as Appropriate) n Pre-Columbian!

A very graphic record of the life of the Timucua comes to us in the sketches of Le Moyne, who accom- panied Laudonniere.

  • 3.0 Precontact Review
    3-1 3.0 PRECONTACT REVIEW A discussion of the regional prehistory is included in cultural resource reports in order to provide a framework within which to examine the local archaeological record. Archaeological sites are not individual entities, but were once part of a dynamic cultural system. As a result, individual sites cannot be adequately examined or interpreted without reference to other sites and resources in the general area. In general, archaeologists summarize the prehistory of a given area (i.e., the archaeological region) by outlining the sequence of archaeological cultures through time. Archaeological cultures are defined largely in geographical terms, but also reflect shared environmental and cultural traits. The Wekiva Parkway/SR 46 Realignment PD&E Study area is situated within the East and Central Lake archaeological region, as defined by Milanich and Fairbanks (1980) and Milanich (1994) (Figure 3.1). The spatial boundaries of the region are somewhat arbitrary, and it is after 500 B.C. that characteristic regional differences become more evident in the archaeological record. There are differences, however, evident as early as the Middle Archaic period when the characteristic Mount Taylor horizon develops along the St. Johns River. The Paleo-Indian, Archaic, Formative, Mississippian, and Acculturative stages have been defined based on unique sets of material culture traits such as characteristic stone tool forms and ceramics, as well as subsistence, settlement, and burial patterns. These broad temporal units are further subdivided into culture horizons, phases or periods: Paleo- Indian (Clovis, Suwannee, Dalton?), Early Archaic (Bolen, Kirk), Mount Taylor, Orange, St. Johns I, St. Johns Ia, St.

Freed African-Americans make up half the state’s population in this post-Civil War era. e roseate spoonbill and reddish egret are nearly gone from the Everglades, decimated by the plumage demand for fashionable hats of the day. Entrepreneurs conduct large-scale draining to connect waterways, permanently altering the hydrology of South Florida. By 1883, the Caloosahatchee River is connected to Lake Okeechobee, lowering the lake’s water level and reducing water flow to the Everglades. 1881 Hamilton Disston buys 4 million acres of the Everglades. The cost is 25 cents an acre. In the aftermath of the Civil War, the state’s nearly bankrupt Internal Improvement Fund — recovering from the severe disruption of its infant railroad system — is seeking buyers for land. Disston, a wealthy saw Hamilton Disston connects waterways to Lake Okeechobee works owner from Philadelphia, returns the Fund to solvency in Central Florida, and by the fall of 1883 watercraft traverse with this single transaction. from the town of Kissimmee to the Gulf of Mexico 1883 Disston connects the Caloosahatchee River and Upper Chain of Lakes. Proclaiming he will drain the entire Everglades, Disston begins by dredging canals and connecting lakes Kissimmee, Hatchineha, Tohopekaliga and other lakes that form the headwaters for the Kissimmee River. He begins to deepen and straighten the Kissimmee River, selling the surrounding drained lands to cattle operators for grazing.

  • Port Orange Shoreline Habitat Management Plan
    CITY COUNCIL AGENDA FORM REQUESTED COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 07/21/09 SUBJECT: SHORELINE HABITAT RESTORATION & MANAGEMENT PLAN DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER/COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY RECOMMENDED MOTION: To accept the Shoreline Habitat Restoration & Management Plan, as presented. SUMMARY: The City of Port Orange is one of several coastal communities within the boundaries of the St. Johns River Water Management District’s Northern Coastal Basin program. The City participates in an inter-agency group formed by the District in June 2007, with the goal of developing and demonstrating best management practices for shoreline development and restoration. Under the leadership of Paul Haydt, the District has completed a comprehensive survey of the shoreline in Port Orange, and has identified six (6) areas for pilot restoration projects. To compliment and further the District’s efforts, the City employed Denis Frazel, Frazel, Inc., to develop a comprehensive Shoreline Habitat and Restoration Management Plan for the City. This Plan includes the District’s recommended shoreline restoration projects, as well as best management practices to guide the City as it develops and redevelops along its shoreline. Modifications to the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations are also recommended to support shoreline habitat restoration and management, and to ensure that required mitigation for shoreline impacts are undertaken within the community. Mr. Frazel will be presenting the final draft of his plan to the City Council.
