About this map

Mulberry and its surrounding communities are documented here during a period of transition, where residential expansion from Lakeland Highlands meets the industrial and agricultural corridors of central Florida. The landscape is defined by its diverse water bodies, ranging from the large Banana Lake and Crews Lake to smaller features like Six Pound Pond and Crescent Lake. These lakes are interspersed with numerous smaller basins and the headwaters of the N Prong Alafia River.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including Oak Hill Cem, Prairie Cem, and the Medulla Cem. The map also identifies local institutions such as Spurgeon Baptist Bible College and the Lakeland Fire Tower. While newer subdivisions like Fountain Heights and Kingsford are visible, the map preserves the names of older locales including Prairie Junction, Tancrede, and Ridgewood, offering a look at the settlement patterns before modern development fully altered the region's character.
