1952 Map of Lake Arbuckle NE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Avon Park Bombing Range dominates this landscape along the border of Polk and Highlands counties. Established as a military training ground, the area is defined by the Bombing Range Boundary which encompasses vast stretches of terrain east of Lake Arbuckle. The hydrological character of the region is shaped by the Arbuckle Creek system and the Rim Canal, while smaller water features like Morgan Hole Creek carve through the interior. Infrastructure within the range includes a dedicated Railroad spur and utility markers such as a Beacon and Sewage Disposal plant. This mid-century survey illustrates the intersection of Florida's natural wetlands with significant Cold War-era military development, preserving the footprint of aviation training facilities before late-twentieth-century modifications.
