40+/- acres
located off Barwick Road in DeBary, with the western boundary of the
property on the St. Johns River. The surrounding area is composed of a
mixture of agriculture, single-family residential, and electric
utility uses. Historically, this property probably consisted of
sandhill or pine flatwoods, flood plain swamp and marsh, and
bottomland forest. The entire sandhill or flatwood habitat has been
converted to pasture. The canopy of the flood plain swamp and
bottomland forest is representative of natural conditions with an
abundance of live oak, water oak, maple, magnolia and sweetgum. The
understory of the forested habitats and the flood plain marsh has been
severely disturbed by cattle. Exotics and pioneer species dominate
these areas.
The property is located in a zone of high
probability for archeological site occurrence, due to its immediate
proximity to the St. Johns River, a water body of high resource value
to prehistoric and historic peoples. A prehistoric freshwater
shell midden (an aboriginal trash heap) was observed on what may be
the northern boundary of the property. |
