1958 Map of Corkscrew

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Corkscrew Swamp dominates this sub-tropical landscape in southern Florida, where the boundary between Lee and Collier counties divides a complex network of wetlands and hammock islands. The 1958 topography reveals a wilderness primarily accessible by unimproved dirt roads, centered around the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. Within the marshy expanse, several distinct landforms rise above the waterline, including Big Corkscrew Island, Hogan Island, and Ruess Island. The settlement of Corkscrew stands as a small upland outpost north of the main swamp. To the east, the shoreline of Lake Trafford and the dense vegetation of Big Hammock mark the transition toward more solid ground. This survey captures the region's natural drainage patterns, from Carson Gully in the north to the Horseshoe Marsh in the southwest, before modern water management significantly altered the Everglades' fringes.
