1953 Map of Narcoossee

About this map

Narcoossee and Runnymede anchor this central Florida landscape, a region defined by an intricate network of interconnected freshwater basins and wetlands. The community of Narcoossee is centered around St Luke Ch and the Narcoossee Cem, while smaller settlements like New Eden and Pine Grove appear near the southern lake chain. The water system is remarkably complex, stretching from Lake Hart in the north to Lake Lizzie and Trout Lake at the southern edge. The boundary between Orange and Osceola counties cuts through the upper portion of the survey, where the Econlockhatchee River Swamp and Roberts Island Slough indicate the dense, low-lying nature of the terrain. Notable landmarks including a Windmill and a Gaging Station suggest the ongoing efforts to manage this water-rich environment during the mid-20th century.
