1975 Map of Polk City

About this map

Polk City sits as the central hub of this Central Florida landscape, situated where the northern edge of development meets the vast hydrological expanse of the Green Swamp. The map illustrates a region in transition during the late 1980s, characterized by numerous water bodies such as Lake Agnes, Lake Juliana, and Lake Mattie. The industrial history of the area is visible through the presence of a Reclaimed Strip Mine and multiple sandpits, showing the scars and restoration efforts of the local phosphate and sand industries.
