1953 Map of Kenansville SW

About this map

Kenansville and Lokosee anchor this marshy section of the Florida interior during a period of significant infrastructure transformation. The landscape is defined by the diagonal transit of Floridas Turnpike, which cuts across a terrain characterized by wetlands and drainage features like the Spoil Bank system. To the east, the Old Railroad Grade follows the boundary of Osceola and Indian River counties, marking the path of former rail commerce that once supported the local timber or cattle industries. Waterways such as Sixmile Creek and Blue Cypress Creek meander through the sawgrass and cypress strands, while a solitary Landing Strip provides a point of aerial access to this specialized environment. The 1972 revisions, indicated in purple, show the modernization of the road network against the older, established survey lines of the early 1950s.
