1958 Map of Belle Meade NE

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Big Corkscrew Island and Curry Island dominate this topographic study of Collier County, illustrating a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and seasonally flooded strands. The 1958 planetable survey reveals an intricate network of cypress sloughs and sawgrass marshes typical of the western Everglades before widespread development. A lone Camp located in the northeastern sector suggests the presence of cattlemen, hunters, or early surveyors who navigated these interior wetlands. The eastern edge is defined by the flowing waters of Stumpy Strand, a natural drainage feature that shapes the local hydrology. This map provides a detailed view of the township and range boundaries where many land lines remained unsurveyed at the time, reflecting the challenging, waterlogged nature of the Big Cypress region during the late 1950s.
