1956 Map of Gardner

About this map

The Peace River meanders through the central corridor of this Florida landscape, creating a complex network of wetlands and tributaries along the border of Hardee and De Soto counties. The settlement of Gardner serves as a primary reference point in the north, while the community of Brownville and the Trailer Park are situated further south along the transportation spine. The map documents a transition in infrastructure, most notably the Old Railroad Grade which is marked as Abandoned, cutting a straight line through the terrain north to south.
