1952 Map of Lake Arbuckle NE

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Avon Park Air Force Base occupies a substantial portion of this landscape along the border of Polk and Highlands Counties. The military installation's presence is marked by a complex of infrastructure, including a Beacon, a Sewage Disposal plant, and the Government Railroad that terminates within the base. The eastern shoreline of Lake Arbuckle is defined by a Rim Canal, while the broader terrain is designated as the Avon Park Bombing Range, delineated by a clear Bombing Range Boundary. This 1950s survey shows the integration of military aviation needs with the hydrology of Central Florida, where Morgan Hole Creek winds through the wetlands east of the main airfield. The map serves as a detailed record of Cold War-era military land use and local geography before later 20th-century developments.
