1956 Map of Citrus Park

About this map

Citrus Park and the surrounding Hillsborough County lake district are defined by an intricate network of freshwater basins and cypress stands in this mid-century survey, updated with late-1980s urban expansion. The landscape transitions from the dense clusters of Trailer Park developments and nascent suburbs in the south to the more open, wetland-rich terrain of the north. Significant water bodies like Keystone Lake, Lake Rogers, and Starvation L dominate the topography, connected by the drainage of Rocky Creek and Brooker Creek. Local community life is anchored by landmarks such as the Keystone Ch and Camp Brorein, while the CSX railroad corridor and local sandpits reflect the area's logistical and extractive history. The 1987 revisions, shown in purple, illustrate the rapid suburbanization pushing into formerly rural sections of the county near Lake Park.
