1958 Map of Corkscrew NW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary dominates the southern landscape of this Florida region, marking a significant ecological conservation area where the Lee Co and Collier Co boundaries meet. This survey, based on 1951 aerial photographs and 1958 field work, reveals a wet interior environment punctuated by features like Panther Island and a Flowing Well. The 1973 revisions highlight a changing landscape, specifically where human-made drainage patterns and agricultural grids begin to interface with the natural swamp sanctuary. The map illustrates the transition from the wilderness of the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary to the early development of surveyed land lines in the north, providing a window into South Florida's mid-century environmental management.
