1952 Map of Lake Arbuckle NE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Avon Park Bombing Range dominates this mid-century central Florida landscape, occupying a vast portion of the interior terrain east of Lake Arbuckle. The land is characterized by a complex network of waterways and drainage features, including the Arbuckle Creek and the man-made Rim Canal. This 1952 survey, with revisions added through the early 1970s, captures the intersection of military utility and natural hydrology along the border of Polk Co and Highlands Co. Infrastructure supporting the military operations is visible near the shoreline, where a Beacon, Sewage Disposal plant, and an old Railroad Grade are located. Further east, the terrain transitions into the lowlands of Morgan Hole Creek, showing the expansive and largely uninhabited character of the bombing range territory during the Cold War era.
