1952 Map of Lake Arbuckle SE

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Avon Park Bombing Range dominates this 1950s landscape, illustrating the mid-century intersection of military training grounds and the Florida wilderness. This area in Highlands County is defined by its complex hydrology, where Arbuckle Creek and Morgan Hole Creek wind through swampy lowlands. The presence of the Bombing Range Boundary cutting through these wetlands reveals how the Department of the Army utilized the isolation of the Cypress slashes for aerial practice. Notable water features like Bonny Bloom Pond and the curiously named Submarine Lake are interspersed among the larger Long Cypress Slash. The topography, mapped via aerial photography and plane-table surveys by the U.S. Corps of Engineers, preserves the original drainage patterns of Wildcat Branch and Arbuckle Br before modern hydrological alterations changed the region's flow.
