1959 Map of Poyner

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Withlacoochee River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, defining the boundary between Lake and Polk Counties amidst a complex network of wetlands and citrus groves. In the late 1950s, this area of Florida remained largely agricultural and rural, centered on small settlements like Eva, Berry, and the map's namesake, Poyner. The transportation network is a central feature, dominated by the diagonal corridor of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad and the presence of an Old Railroad Grade, which speaks to earlier eras of timber or phosphate extraction. Local life is anchored by landmarks such as Green Pond Ch, while the modest elevation of Rattlesnake Ridge provides a rare topographical contrast to the surrounding marshy lowlands and pond-dotted terrain typical of the Central Florida ridge section.
