2024 Map of Gum Lake

About this map

Green Swamp dominates the northwest portion of this Polk County landscape, transitioning into the rapidly developing corridors of Haines City and Davenport. The map illustrates a complex hydrography characteristic of the Florida peninsula, featuring significant bodies of water such as Lake Lowery, Gum Lake, and the bird-foot shaped Bonnet Lake. The eastern edge reveals a dense network of suburban expansion and leisure infrastructure, particularly around Citrus Ridge and Four Corners, where golf-related street names like Caddy Dr and Par Pines Blvd signal the area's modern land-use patterns. Scattered amongst these newer developments are established landmarks like Gore Airport and small residential clusters like Holiday Manor. This detailed survey provides a clear look at the intersection of protected wetlands and the expanding urban footprint in Central Florida.
