1955 Map of Wauchula

About this map

The Peace River carves a winding path through this central Florida landscape, anchoring a corridor of citrus groves and railroad development. Following the Seaboard Coast Line tracks, the map details the growth of Wauchula and the smaller settlements of Torrey, Coker, and Zolfo Springs. The area's agricultural and rural character is evidenced by the numerous named watercourses such as Payne Creek and Little Charlie Creek, which drain into the river system through wetlands like Reephook Swamp.
