About this map

The settlement of Ehren and its surrounding wetlands define this mid-century Florida landscape, showing a region where the terrestrial and aquatic worlds constantly blur. Local history and genealogy interest centers on the Ehren Cem and the nearby Oak Grove Ch, while the vast Cypress Swamp and its drainage through Cypress Creek dominate the eastern half of the sheet. The area's specialized land use is evident in the presence of a Fish Hatchery and the Pilots Country Estates Airport.

Surface water is the primary geographic feature, with a dense network of named bodies including Big Fish Lake, Goose Lake, and Bay Lake. The map's topography, captured in 1954 and updated via aerial photography in the 1980s, highlights the development of lakeside tracts and the complex hydrology of the New River Pond and Oakes Pond systems that weave through the sandy flats and swampy depressions of central Pasco County.
