1952 Map of Babson Park

About this map

Crooked Lake dominates this central Florida landscape, surrounded by a cluster of mid-century citrus-belt settlements. The development pattern of the early 1950s is evident in the residential layouts of Babson Park and Hillcrest Heights, while the northern edge of Frostproof shows the community's orientation toward both Lake Clinch and Reedy Lake. Beyond the larger towns, smaller enclaves like Highland Park and Crooked Lake Park highlight the region's post-war residential expansion.
