2018 Map of Socrum

About this map

Socrum sits at a crossroads of Polk, Pasco, and Hillsborough counties, anchoring a landscape where historical roadbeds meet the headwaters of central Florida drainage systems. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by its hydrography, notably the upper reaches of the Hillsborough River and the winding course of Blackwater Cr. The map reveals the persistence of early transport routes like Old Dade City Rd, which cuts diagonally across the northern sections, and the local importance of water bodies such as Indian Lake and Avenue Pond. The infrastructure suggests a transition from traditional rural routes to modern residential connectors, evidenced by the dense naming of neighborhood lanes like Sherrouse Ln and Ironhead Trl near the eastern margin. The presence of Big Ditch highlights the history of water management and land reclamation essential to the development of this tri-county borderland.
