About this map

The town of Frostproof and its surrounding citrus-growing region are captured here during a period of transition, with original 1950s data updated by 1980s aerial photography. Positioned between the massive shores of Lake Clinch and Reedy Lake, the landscape is defined by its complex hydrology and the infrastructure of the CSX railroad. Rural life is anchored by locations like Corinth Ch and the Silver Lake Cem, while smaller settlements such as Maxey Quarters and Neilson dot the terrain.

The map reveals an intricate network of smaller water bodies including the Saddle Blanket Lakes and Lake Streety. Industrial and community footprints are visible through features like the Sand Pit near Pabor Lake and the development of Avon Park Lakes to the south. An Old Railroad Grade cutting through the center suggests the evolution of local transit, while the extensive woodland and lake-frontage define the character of this central Florida ridge country.
