1958 Map of Corkscrew NW

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary anchors the southeastern corner of this 1950s survey, marking a preserved remnant of the Florida Everglades ecosystem before modern development patterns fully took hold. The landscape is defined by vast wetlands and periodic rises in elevation, such as the distinctive Panther Island. Positioned along the border of Lee Co and Collier Co, the map reveals a transition from natural swamp toward initial land modifications, indicated by the grid of drainage features and the presence of a Flowing Well. This survey reflects the region's mid-century state, where the complex hydrology of the Big Cypress watershed remained the dominant geographic force, punctuated only by a few unimproved roads and isolated benchmarks.
