1953 Map of Davenport

About this map

Davenport serves as the central hub of this Central Florida landscape, situated at the junction of the Atlantic Coast Line and local routes just as the post-war citrus and tourism boom began to take shape. The town's grid is clearly defined, flanked by the Davenport Cem and Red Row Cem, while the settlement of Loughman sits to the north along the rail line. To the east, the terrain transitions into the vast wilderness of the Reedy Creek Swamp, a complex wetland environment characterized by elevated terrain such as the Huckleberry Islands and Johnson Island.
