About this map

Crooked Lake serves as the central geographic anchor for this part of Polk County, surrounded by established residential communities and aviation landmarks. The settlement of Babson Park sits on the eastern shore, closely integrated with the campus of Webber College. The landscape is defined by its numerous water bodies, including Lake Easy, Lake Leonore, and Lake Moody, which dictate the winding road patterns and the placement of communities like Hillcrest Heights and Highland Park.

A notable concentration of aviation facilities reflects the local geography, featuring the Ridge Landing Airport, Lake Clinch Airpark, and the distinct Goddard Seadrome on Reedy Lake. These sites, alongside public spaces like Crooked Lake Park and the Southern Pines Recreational Vehicle Park, illustrate a region where recreation and local transportation are deeply tied to the lakefronts. The map documents a mature network of local roads such as Alturas Babson Park Cutoff that connect these dispersed lakeside developments.
