2021 Map of Eloise

About this map

Winter Haven and its surrounding lake-dotted landscape are the focal point of this 2021 survey, illustrating the complex intersection of residential growth and natural hydrography in Polk County. The map provides a detailed view of the Lake Wales Ridge and the numerous water bodies that define the region's geography, including Lake Eloise, Lake Lulu, and Lake Ashton. The settlement pattern ranges from the established streets of Lake Wales and Bartow to smaller communities such as Eloise and Wahneta. Infrastructural features like the Wahneta Farms Drainage Canal and the Lake Wales Municipal Airport show how the landscape has been managed for both water control and modern transport. For those tracing local history or family roots, the map provides exact coordinates for neighborhoods like Lake Shipp Heights and Floritan, along with landmarks such as West Scenic Park and the isolated Mule Island within the Peace Creek wetlands.
