1953 Map of Basinger SW

About this map

The southeastern shores of Lake Istokpoga dominate this 1950s survey of Highlands Co., Florida, revealing a landscape defined by large-scale water management and drainage. The extensive network of Levee systems and the Indian Prairie Canal illustrate mid-century efforts to reclaim and manage the marshy terrain of the Florida heartland. Transportation through this watery region is anchored by the Seaboard Air Line railroad, which skirts the lake's edge near the settlement of Marland.
