1958 Map of Belle Meade SE

About this map

Collier Seminole State Park anchors the southern boundary of this 1950s survey, representing a vast expanse of South Florida wetlands and cypress strands. The terrain is defined by its saturation and lack of permanent settlements, with much of the map dedicated to marshy ground and periodic water bodies. Evidence of past human industry and transit is etched into this landscape through the Old Railroad Grade, which suggests an era of timber extraction or early transportation efforts that preceded the modern park designation. Access into the interior remains limited to primitive tracks like Mule Lot Road and a solitary Jeep Trail, highlighting the persistence of this wilderness even as the surrounding region began to develop. This sheet is particularly useful for understanding the historic drainage patterns of the Everglades before extensive modern alterations.
