About this map

Phosphate mining and citrus-country hydrology define the landscape surrounding Bartow at the mid-century mark. Industrial activity is concentrated along the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line railroads, where a sprawling Strip Mine Area and facilities like the Hydro Seperator indicate the region's intensive mineral extraction. The urban center of Bartow is detailed with civic and educational institutions including the Union Academy, Summerlain Institute, and several historic burial grounds such as Oak Hill Cem and Bartow Cem.
