About this map

The Lake Wales Ridge dominates the eastern half of this landscape, where intense residential development meets a network of subtropical basins. Modern communities like Citrus Ridge and the sprawling intersection at Four Corners represent the rapid expansion in this corridor where Lake, Polk, Orange, and Osceola counties converge. The terrain is defined by a high density of water bodies, ranging from the large Lake Davenport to numerous smaller pools like Crooked Lake and Lake Oliver.

In contrast to the developed ridges, the western portion of the map is defined by the Green Swamp and Green Swamp Run. This hydrologically significant area remains largely undeveloped, characterized by the winding paths of Turkey Creek and Big Creek. The map documents a sharp transition between the preserved wetlands of the swamp and the suburban residential developments like Oak Island and Horizon West that push against these natural boundaries.
