2021 Map of Polk City

About this map

Polk City sits at the heart of this Central Florida landscape, positioned between the conservation lands of the Green Swamp to the north and the increasingly developed corridor of Auburndale and Lakeland to the south. The map documents a region defined by its numerous water bodies, ranging from the expansive Lake Juliana and Lake Mattie to the clusters of smaller basins like Lake Tennessee and Lake Agnes. Transport and recreation infrastructure are prominently featured, including the General James A Van Fleet State Trail, which cuts a straight path north from Polk City. Local aviation history is represented by the Orlampa Inc Airport, while family and place-named roads like Fussell Rd and Hagan Rd provide clues for local history researchers tracing the area's transition from rural citrus and swamp land to a modern residential and transportation hub.
