1956 Map of Orlando East

About this map

The eastern reaches of Orlando and Winter Park are defined here by an intricate chain of citrus-era lakes and rapidly expanding mid-century infrastructure. Major institutional hubs anchor the landscape, most notably the sprawling Orlando Naval Training Center and the Herndon Municipal Airport, reflecting the region's importance to military training and civil aviation during the Cold War. To the north, the historic campus of Rollins College sits along Lake Virginia, while the Seaboard Coast Line connects smaller outlying communities like Goldenrod and Union Park.
