About this map

Banana Lake and Scott Lake anchor a landscape defined by significant suburban growth and industrial transition in central Florida. In this recent survey, the northern expanse is dominated by the outskirts of Lakeland, including neighborhoods like Fountain Heights and the Polk State College Lakeland Campus. Further south, the map reveals a corridor of development stretching through Lakeland Highlands and Highland City.

Industry and transport networks remain central to the area's identity, with names like Prairie Junction, East Mulberry, and Royster pointing to the region's phosphate mining and railroad heritage. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including Fitzgerald Cem, Medulla Cem, and Oak Hill Cem. Recreational and conservation interests are visible along the Fort Fraser Trl and the Circle B Bar Reserve Trl, marking the shift from industrial to public space.
