1956 Map of Orlando West

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Orlando city center and its western suburban expansion are captured in the mid-1950s, a period of rapid development across central Florida. The western edge of the city proper borders numerous unincorporated communities and established settlements such as Eatonville, Orlovista, and Fairview Shores. This landscape is defined by its extreme density of water bodies, with hundreds of lakes including Lake Fairview, Lake Wekiwa, and Lake Lockhart dictating the path of road networks like Lee Road and Colonial Drive.
