1956 Map of Gardner

About this map

The Peace River meanders through this mid-century Florida landscape, defining the western boundary of the territory and supporting a complex network of wetlands and tributaries. The community of Gardner serves as a focal point along the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, which bisects the quadrangle as it moves south toward Brownville and Cubitis. These small rail-oriented settlements are surrounded by a terrain of cypress heads and marshy lowlands, marked by numerous named branches such as Walker Branch, Mure Branch, and McBride Branch.
