1953 Map of Oviedo SW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Econlockhatchee River and its western tributary, the Little Econlockhatchee River, dominate this landscape east of Orlando during the early 1950s. The map illustrates a transitional period of rural land use, where family names are tied to the land via landmarks like Rouse Cem and Lake Rouse. The east-west corridor of Cheney Highway serves as the primary artery, connecting the developing settlement at Union Park to the outlying community of Bithlo. Cultural revisions from the late 1970s, shown in purple, reveal the initial expansion of residential footprints and the addition of a Drive-in Theater near the Union Park Sch. Local spiritual and educational life is anchored by Downey Ch and Lockwood Ch, while dozens of small water bodies like Lake Price and Lake Georgia punctuate the flat, low-lying terrain of eastern Orange County.
