1953 Map of Frostproof

About this map

The town of Frostproof serves as the focal point for this landscape in the early 1950s, bordered by the expansive waters of Lake Clinch and Reedy Lake. The geography is defined by a dense concentration of citrus groves and water bodies, illustrating the region's agricultural and hydrologic character before modern expansion. Transportation infrastructure, including the Seaboard Coast Line and an Old Railroad Grade, connects smaller outposts like West Frostproof and Maxey Quarters to the larger rail network. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly dotted with small lakes such as Saddle Blanket Lakes and Lake Streety, while the Polk and Highlands County line marks a transition toward Avon Park Lakes. Researchers can locate community landmarks including the Silver Lake Cem and Corinth Ch, which provide specific points of interest for genealogical study and local history.
