1953 Map of Basinger

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Basinger sits at the heart of this landscape, a settlement defined by the winding course of the Kissimmee River and the expansive drainage networks of the central Florida interior. This 1950s survey, updated with 1970s aerial data, captures a transition in land use where traditional cattle country meets early water management efforts. Local life is anchored by the Basinger Sch, Brethren Ch, and the Basinger Cem, providing clear reference points for genealogists researching families from Okeechobee and Highlands counties. The terrain is a complex mosaic of hydrologic features, including Wolf Sawgrass Pond and various sloughs like Ash Slough and Gore Slough. Evidence of regional transport and infrastructure is seen in the S C L railroad line passing through Cornwell and the presence of a Gaging Sta and a small Landing Field.
