1956 Map of Arcadia SE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Prairie Creek meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, marking the transition between the rural expanses of DeSoto and Charlotte counties. Surveyed in the mid-1950s, the terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and seasonal drainages characteristic of south-central Florida. To the north, the waters of Hawthorne Creek and the marshy basin of Hog Bay feed into the regional hydrology, while the elongated Myrtle Slough cuts through the southeastern corner. This area serves as a study in mid-century land use, showing a sparse infrastructure of unimproved roads and sectional boundaries that delineate large tracts of undeveloped territory before modern drainage and development altered the natural flow of these creeks.
