2018 Map of Bowling Green

About this map

Fort Meade and Bowling Green anchor this central Florida landscape, where the phosphate industry and citrus groves have historically shaped the terrain. The Peace River flows southward through the center of the sheet, joined by tributaries such as Whidden Creek and Bowlegs Creek. To the west, the winding course of Little Payne Creek defines the boundary near several local landmarks. Notable topographic features include Sand Mountain, which rises amidst a network of rural roads such as Sand Mountain Road and Mosley Road. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of several local burial grounds, including the Fort Meade Cemetery, New Hope Cemetery, and Grove Cemetery, which serve as permanent markers of the area's established communities across the Polk and Hardee county line.
