About this map

Avon Park and its surrounding Highland County landscape are defined by the distinctive geography of the Lake Wales Ridge, a series of high ancient sand dunes that historically supported citrus groves and unique scrub habitats. This modern survey illustrates the residential expansion of Avon Park Lakes and the dense street grids that now surround water bodies such as Lake Tulane, Lake Anoka, and Lake Glenada. The area's agricultural and aviation roots remain visible through the Crews Homestead Ranch Airport and the Avon Park Executive Airport.

South of the main town center, the landscape transitions into a more hydrologically complex environment featuring the Little Charley Bowlegs Creek and Bee Branch. Notable local landmarks include the Bougainvillea Cemetery and specialized routes like the Highlands County Trail and the curiously named Bootlegger Trail. The map also captures the boundary between Hardee and Highlands counties, showing how the formal township and range system (such as t33s r28e) has organized this portion of central Florida.
