About this map

Kissimmee serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, positioned at the northern head of Lake Tohopekaliga. The town's grid is anchored by Broadway and Main St, housing critical local institutions including the Courthouse, Osceola High Sch, and the Kissimmee Hospital. Transport and commerce are defined by the convergence of the Seaboard Coast Line and Floridas Turnpike, while the Kissimmee Municipal Airport occupies a significant footprint to the west.

Water management and agricultural development shape the surrounding landscape, evidenced by the Partin Canal and numerous levees. Beyond the urban center, smaller communities like Campbell and the Trailer Park appear near the rail lines. Notable landmarks for local history include Macedonia Ch and Rosehill Cem, alongside the expansive Reedy Creek Swamp and the island-dotted waters of the lake, including Paradise Island and Makinson Island.
