1956 Map of Bereah

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Old Colony Mine and extensive phosphate operations dominate the northwestern landscape of this mid-century Florida survey, which tracks the transition from active industrial extraction to land reclamation. The map illustrates a distinct contrast between the heavy earthworks of the Strip Mine areas and the natural drainage of Bowlegs Creek and Charlie Creek flowing toward the south. Near the small settlement of Bereah, local life is centered around rural institutions such as Athens Ch and Mt Zion Ch, while the Eden Cem provides a genealogical touchpoint for families of the Polk and Hardee County borderlands. The 1980s photorevisions highlight the expansion of Reclaimed Strip Mine zones, revealing how the central Florida terrain was reshaped by mineral interests over several decades.
