About this map

The suburban and rural fringe between Plant City and Lakeland is defined by a dense network of residential subdivisions and agricultural estates, as seen in this 2012 survey. Dozens of named developments like Soggy Bottom Acres, Midway Gardens, and Colonial Village indicate the rapid residential expansion that has transformed the local landscape. These communities are clustered around essential local infrastructure, including the Midway Lake Airport and the campus of Hillsborough Community College.

Tracing the natural landscape, the winding courses of Blackwater Cr and Itchepackesassa Cr flow through the region, punctuated by local water bodies like Lake Galloway and Lester Lake. Longstanding community markers are clearly identified, from the Mount Enon church and Garden of Peace Cem to the cultural icon of the Silver Moon Drive-In. The map serves as a detailed record of land use at the start of the 2010s, balancing the remnants of old citrus groves with modern housing density.
