1944 Map of Lorraine

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Braden River meanders through this portion of Manatee County, Florida, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and seasonal drainages. During the mid-1940s, this area was primarily rural, with small communities like Lorraine and Foxleigh serving as local nodes. Evidence of earlier industry and transport is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the northern terrain, indicating a period when rail lines were critical for local commerce. Cultural landmarks, such as the Braden River Cem, provide valuable points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots in the region. To the west, Elwood Park sits near the riverbanks, while numerous named sloughs and creeks, including Rattlesnake Slough and Cooper Creek, highlight the complex hydrology of the coastal lowlands near the Manatee Co Sarasota Co line.
