1953 Map of Deer Park NW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Wetlands and winding watercourses dominate this central Florida landscape, where Wolf Creek and Pennywash Creek snake through a mosaic of marshes and cypress strands. The terrain reveals the region's mid-century rural character, largely defined by ranching and the remnants of earlier industrial transport. Evidence of this past infrastructure is marked by the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the northern sections, suggesting the former importance of timber or cattle transport before modern roads. Settlement is exceptionally sparse, centered on the Orlando Ranch near the eastern boundary. This 1953 survey captures the area just as aerial photography began to supplement traditional plane-table mapping, providing a clear record of the intricate drainage patterns and small hammocks that dictated the placement of early ranching operations and roads in Osceola County.
