1952 Map of Lake Weohyakapka SE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Lake Kissimmee and the northern reaches of Tiger Lake anchor this 1950s landscape, which transitioned during the early 1970s with the development of Indian Lake Estates. The grid-like street patterns of the estate development contrast sharply with the surrounding wetland environment, where Buttermilk Slough drains toward the larger water bodies. Evidence of earlier industrial transit is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts diagonally across the terrain, marking a former path through the sawgrass and scrub. To the northeast, the prominence of Brahma Island sits at the edge of the Osceola Co Polk Co line, illustrating the remote and water-bound nature of the boundary in this era. The map’s 1972 revisions reveal the encroachment of modern subdivision planning onto a previously sparse, marshy interior.
