1955 Map of Eloise

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Cypress Gardens and an expansive network of interconnected lakes dominate this mid-century Florida landscape, revealing a region defined by its complex hydrology and early tourism development. The sheet captures the area as residential and industrial patterns solidified around the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and the Peace Creek Drainage Canal. Large citrus groves and agricultural plots are visible surrounding established communities like Eloise and Wahneta, while smaller settlements such as Floritan and West Scenic Park sit near the eastern edge. Local social life is evidenced by the Southland Ch and Rifle Range Ch, while more specialized land uses appear at the Fish Hatchery and a small Airfield. The transition from natural wetlands to managed waterways is clear through the numerous named lakes, including Lake Eloise, Lake Winterset, and Lake Garfield.
