About this map

Florence Villa and several neighboring residential developments define the mid-county landscape of Central Florida in the early 21st century. This region is characterized by an immense concentration of freshwater bodies, including the large Lake Hamilton and Lake Henry, interspersed with established neighborhoods like Poinsettia Park and Eastwood. The map reflects a community deeply integrated with its water resources, featuring specialized transportation hubs such as the Lake Hamilton Seaplane Base alongside the more traditional Winter Haven's Gilbert Airport.

Academic and agricultural history intersect at the Polk Community College campus and the nearby University of Florida Experimental Station. Local transit is anchored by the CSX Transportation rail line and a dense grid of named avenues and streets. Notable local landmarks including Oakland Cem and Lakeside Memorial Park provide clear points of reference for genealogists tracing family history in this area of Polk County.
