1960 Map of Rock Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Withlacoochee River Swamp dominates this Central Florida landscape where Polk, Lake, and Sumter counties converge. This mid-century survey reveals a territory defined by hydrologic patterns and early transportation corridors through the wetlands. The small settlement of Rock Ridge serves as the primary upland anchor, situated near the Little Flock Ch and a Fish Hatchery. The map captures a transition in land use, showing multiple segments of Old Railroad Grade and the Main Line Road cutting through the hammocks and drains. These features, along with Hart Hammock and Strand Hammock, suggest a history of timber extraction and drainage efforts typical of the region's development. The intricate network of seasonal watercourses, including Mattress Drain and Cumbree Drain, provides a clear view of the natural drainage flowing toward the Withlacoochee River.
