2021 Map of Bowling Green

About this map

The Peace River carves a central corridor through this Florida landscape, bridging the historical centers of Fort Meade to the north and Bowling Green to the south. This 2021 survey documents the established settlement patterns along the Polk and Hardee County line, where residential grids meet a patchwork of industrial and agricultural tracts. A notable concentration of genealogical sites is present, including the Bowling Green City Cemetery, Meade Cemetery, and New Hope Cemetery. Transport and recreation are defined by the CSX railroad corridor and the Peace River State Trail, which parallel the river's course. The terrain is marked by distinctive features such as Sand Mountain and the winding tributaries of Whidden Creek and Bowlegs Creek. Significant land use changes are visible in the large-scale excavations and water management areas that characterize the rural space between the two primary towns.
