1956 Map of Orlando West

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Orlando and its western outskirts show rapid mid-century expansion in this survey, where the developing residential tracts of Pine Hills and Fairview Shores meet a landscape dense with freshwater lakes. The map documents a transition from agricultural and open land toward a suburban lakefront lifestyle, centered around bodies of water like Lake Wekiva, Lake Hiawassee, and Lake Fairview. Important community institutions of the era are well-represented, including the Central Florida Hospital, Bishop Moore High Sch, and the historic Eatonville settlement.
