1956 Map of Zolfo Springs

About this map

The Peace River carves a winding path through this central Florida landscape, defining a region where citrus groves and ranching meet the riverine wetlands. Along its banks and tributaries like Troublesome Creek and Oak Creek, the map reveals a network of flowing wells that supported local agriculture during the mid-twentieth century. The settlement of Zolfo Springs serves as the primary hub, situated where the Atlantic Coast Line railroad runs north-to-south, a vital artery for the region's produce and freight.
