Cypress Gardens and an intricate network of freshwater lakes define this mid-century Florida landscape, captured just as the region’s citrus and tourism identity was flourishing. The map illustrates a transition from industrial activity to residential growth, with the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line railroads intersecting at Eloise. These rail corridors once served the packing houses and phosphate interests of Polk County, connecting settlements like Wahneta and West Lake Wales to broader markets.
