Volusia County Road 4101
Volusia County Road 4101 runs north across the east side of DeLand from Orange City. 7.92 miles in length, CR 4101 follows Kentucky Avenue north from CR 4145 (Graves Avenue) to SR 472. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Beltway extends the county road north from SR 472 to the DeLand city line south of SR 44. Kepler Road continues CR 4101 north from there to U.S. 92 (International Speedway Boulevard).
The CR 4101 alignment along Kentucky Avenue north from Graves Avenue to Old Cassadaga Road was formerly a part of Florida State Road 430A. SR 430A originated in Orange City from U.S. 17/92 (Volusia Avenue) along Graves Avenue. The state road looped northeast to Cassadaga and Lake Helen via Cassadaga Road and Macy Avenue, both of which are now a part of CR 4139. Kepler Road north of SR 44 was the northern extent of SR 430A, which overlapped with SR 44 around Lake Winnemissett.
