Urban Renewal in Lakeland

Maps and Aerial Images

Edwin Newman named his new subdivision Lakeland and drew up a grand plan for its development. Most of his dream was never realized, but the place did become a community. Over time, the landscape changed and so the city proposed new plans. Included here is Newman’s original Lakeland plan, depictions of the community at various periods, development proposals, and other related maps.
