1975 Map of Polk City

About this map

The Green Swamp dominates the northern landscape of this mid-1970s survey, illustrating the complex hydrology of Central Florida before extensive modern development. Polk City serves as the primary hub, situated at the intersection of critical transit corridors including the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and several primary highways. The area is defined by its numerous water bodies, ranging from the large Lake Juliana and Lake Mattie in the south to smaller basins like Lake Agnes and Clearwater Lake.
