1953 Map of Oviedo SW

About this map

The Little Econlockhatchee River and its larger counterpart, the Econlockhatchee River, define the hydrology of this East Orange County landscape as it transitioned in the mid-20th century. While much of the eastern portion of the sheet remains dominated by wetlands and cypress strands, the western edge shows the early residential footprint of Union Park, complete with the Union Park Sch and Downey Ch. The map captures the alignment of the Cheney Highway as it cuts across the center, linking the suburbanizing fringe with more isolated settlements like Bithlo and Cheney. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Rouse Cem near Lake Rouse, a key landmark amongst a density of water bodies that includes Lake Price, Lake Kehoe, and Lake Drawdy. Revisions from 1970 reveal more recent development patterns, such as a Drive-in Theater and expanded urban areas near the Seminole Co Orange Co boundary.
