2012 Map of Childs
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
Archbold and the research-focused landscape surrounding it dominate this Highlands County survey. The map records the network of rural roads and environmental features that define this part of the Lake Wales Ridge, including the distinct Archbold Tower. Water bodies such as Lake Placid, Grassy Lake, and Lake Annie punctuate the sandy terrain, while the course of Hickory Br flows through the southern reaches. Small settlements and named locales like Hicoria, Bairs Den, and Bear Hollow reflect the scattered residential and scientific hubs of the region. The grid of roads, including Old State Road 8 and Hickory Branch RD, provides a window into the accessibility of this specialized interior Florida landscape during the early 21st century.
