1953 Map of Oviedo SW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Little Econlockhatchee River and its larger counterpart, the Econlockhatchee River, wind through this landscape of the early 1950s, defining a region of interconnected wetlands and numerous small lakes. This mid-century survey captures the rural character of eastern Orange County before the acceleration of suburban development. The Cheney Highway serves as the primary east-west artery, connecting the small settlements of Cheney and Bithlo. Local life is anchored by family landmarks and community nodes such as Rouse Cem, Downey Ch, and the Union Park Sch. The map reveals a high density of named water bodies, including Lake Rouse, Lake Georgia, and Lake Price, illustrating the complex drainage patterns and the significant role of surface water in shaping early Florida homesteads and infrastructure.
