About this map

Providence and the surrounding wetlands of Polk County are captured here at the height of World War II, showing a landscape defined by citrus groves and early aviation infrastructure. The Corps of Engineers document an Auxiliary Landing Field in the southwest, while much of the central and northern terrain consists of dense woodland, scattered brush, and marshy lowlands near Sick Lake.
