2024 Map of Homeland
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
The Peace River corridor in central Polk County defines this landscape, flowing south between the southern outskirts of Bartow and Fort Meade. The transition from industrial extraction to historic settlement is evident near Homeland, where the grid of 1st St and 4th St sits adjacent to the sprawling Noralyn Mine Lake. This area was a significant hub for phosphate mining and river commerce, reflected in the density of local landmarks and infrastructure. Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites including the Old Homeland Cemetery and Evergreen Cem, alongside rural tracks like Old Fort Meade Rd. To the west, the wetland expanse of Tiger Bay contrasts with the structured agriculture and citrus groves found toward Alturas and Pembroke.
