About this map

Iron Mountain and the Lake Wales Ridge dominate this central Florida landscape, characterized by an intricate network of freshwater lakes. The city of Lake Wales serves as the regional anchor, surrounded by numerous bodies of water including Lake Serena, Crystal Lake, and Lake Wales. These natural features are interspersed with institutional landmarks like Warner Southern College and the iconic Bok Tower.

Transportation and aviation history are evident in the presence of the Lake Wales Municipal Airport and the smaller Chalet Suzanne Air Strip to the north. Smaller communities and designated areas like Floritan and Lake of the Hills highlight the residential development patterns tied to the waterfront. The area north of the city is particularly dense with water bodies such as Lake Annie and Lake Pierce, while local history is marked by sites like the Garden Cem and Mountain Lake Station.
