1956 Map of Winter Garden

About this map

Winter Garden and Ocoee anchor this mid-century survey of the citrus-growing region west of Orlando. The landscape is defined by its hydrology, with Lake Apopka dominating the northern edge and a dense network of smaller bodies like Starke Lake and Lake Whitney scattered throughout. The purple revisions on this 1970s release highlight the expanding urban boundaries and the introduction of Florida's Turnpike, which cut through the citrus groves and old rail lines.
