2012 Map of Bartow

About this map

Bartow stands as a primary hub in this central Florida landscape, positioned between the extensive waters of Lake Hancock and the winding course of the Peace River. The map reveals a high concentration of local history markers, particularly the cluster of burial grounds including Evergreen Cem, Palm Cem, Oak Hill Cem, and Wildwood Cem near the town center. To the northeast, the community of Eagle Lake borders its namesake water body, while the surrounding area is dotted with smaller settlements like Gordonville, Connersville, and the historically named Roux Quarters. The terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, where Saddle Cr and Phyllis Br feed into a network of lakes including Spirit Lake, Dinner Lake, and Lake Garfield. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Bartow Municipal Airport and several major crossings, such as the Spessard L Holland Bridge, which facilitate travel through this water-rich region of Polk County.
