1958 Map of Corkscrew SE

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary anchors the northwest corner of this Collier County survey, representing a critical era of conservation in the Florida Everglades. The landscape is a complex mosaic of hydrologic features, dominated by the expansive Bird Rookery Swamp and the elevated terrain of Big Corkscrew Island. The map documents a transition in the wetlands, where natural drainage patterns like Winchester Strand and Poggie Strand meet early human interventions. Numerous Flowing Wells are plotted across the central sections, indicating groundwater exploration and the early agricultural footprints in this low-lying region. From the dense Shoggy Cypress Swamp to the distinctive outlines of Forth Island and Curry Island, the survey captures the intricate wilderness of south Florida before mid-century development and drainage projects significantly altered the regional water table.
