1970 Map of Big Mound South

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Corbett State Wildlife Management Area dominates the eastern expanse of this 1970 landscape, where the distinct circular patterns of Florida wetlands meet the geometric precision of industrial agriculture. The transition is marked by a series of significant water-control features, including the diagonal L-8 Canal and the southern West Palm Beach Canal. These waterways underscore the era's focus on drainage and land management in Palm Beach County. The elevated terrain of Big Mound stands out in the northwest, accompanied by a nearby Landing Strip, indicating the intersection of remote natural terrain and modern utility. The western half of the map shows a highly organized grid of fields and canals, such as the Big Mound Canal, illustrating the conversion of the Everglades fringe into productive citrus or sugarcane land at the start of the 1970s.
