1954 Map of Holder

About this map

Phosphate mining and transit corridors define this central Florida landscape during the mid-1950s. The eastern edge of the survey is dominated by the sprawling wetlands of Tsala Apopka Lake and the smaller Twomile Prairie Lake, while the interior terrain is marked by numerous excavation sites simply labeled Mine. These industrial operations are closely tied to the region's rail network, with the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line cutting through the territory to service small industrial outposts.
