1956 Map of Sweetwater

Hydrological features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, from the isolated waters of Lake Florence and Adeline Bay to the active Flowing Well sites located across the terrain. The landscape is further detailed by Sand Gully Spring and the meandering paths of Mercer Branch and Sweetwater Branch. This mid-century survey, with later revisions, documents the subtle shifts in this Hardee County territory where water management and drainage patterns like Punch Gully dictate the local geography.
