1956 Map of Bermont

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Shell Creek meanders through the heart of this mid-century Florida landscape, joined by the slow-moving waters of Cypress Slough and Myrtle Slough. The terrain is defined by its low-lying hydrology, dominated to the southeast by the expansive Telegraph Swamp. The small settlement of Bermont serves as the primary landmark in an area otherwise characterized by scattered water features and numerous Flowing Wells. An intriguing detail for local historians is the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the southern portion of the quadrangle, marking a former path of commerce and transit through Charlotte County before the modern highway system took precedence. The survey captures a moment when the region's development was still closely tied to its natural drainage patterns and early industrial corridors.
