USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Crooked Lake dominates this central Florida landscape, its intricate shoreline defining the character of the Ridge section in Polk County. Surveyed by the U.S. Corps of Engineers in the early 1950s and updated with 1972 revisions, this map captures the citrus-growing region’s transition during a period of steady residential growth. The lakeside settlements of Babson Park, Hillcrest Heights, and Highland Park are shown in detail, including the 1970s urban extensions around Crooked Lake Park.
