About this map

The Peace River corridor anchors this modern survey of Polk County, where the landscape reflects a long history of both agriculture and industry. The northern reaches show the industrial footprint of Bartow and the Noralyn Mine Lake, while further south, the settlement of Fort Meade reveals a dense grid of streets including Tecumseh Ave and N Palmetto Ave.

Genealogists can find significant local landmarks such as Peace Creek Cem, Hancock Cem, and Evergreen Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure connecting these communities, from the John Singletary Bridge over the river to the rural stretches of Old Homeland Rd and Vigiron Rd. To the west, the wetland expanse of Tiger Bay and the winding McCullough Creek represent the low-lying terrain characteristic of this part of the Florida interior.
