1956 Map of Bereah

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Industrial extraction and rural congregation define this landscape on the border of Polk and Hardee Counties. The northwest corner is dominated by phosphate mining operations, including the Old Colony Mine and extensive Reclaimed Strip Mine areas, illustrating the region's mid-century economic reliance on land transformation. Outside the mining zones, the terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses and wetlands, with Bowlegs Creek and Charlie Creek draining through low-lying areas. Small community centers are anchored by local landmarks such as Mt Zion Ch and Eden Cem. The settlement of Bereah sits near the eastern edge, supported by Athens Ch, reflecting the sparse but established social fabric of this interior Florida region during the 1950s.
