1959 Map of Lake Louisa SW

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Green Swamp dominates this landscape at the junction of Lake, Polk, Orange, and Osceola counties, revealing a vast freshwater wilderness in the late 1950s. The map illustrates a complex hydrological system where Big Creek and Green Swamp Run navigate through dense wetlands. While much of the area is undeveloped swamp, several distinct lakes dot the northern and eastern borders, including Hancock Lake, Lake Oliver, and Lake Austin. Significant islands of slightly higher ground, such as Oak Island and Fishers Island, emerge from the Davenport Creek Swamp. Along the southern edge, Dean Still Road and Loughman Road provide limited access to this saturated interior, showing the early infrastructure surrounding these headwaters. This survey, updated with late 1970s aerial data, highlights the environmental character of the region before significant drainage or modern development reached this specific quadrant.
