1958 Map of Corkscrew SE

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary anchors the northwest corner of this 1950s study, revealing the complex hydrology of the northern Everglades before extensive modern drainage. The landscape is a mosaic of cypress strands and higher ground, most notably the broad expanse of Big Corkscrew Island. The terrain is characterized by elongated wetlands like Horsepen Strand and Winchester Strand, which channel water through the limestone and sand of southern Florida. Evidence of human attempts to manage this water is found in several Flowing Wells and a straight-line grid of unimproved dirt roads that segment the interior. The presence of Bird Rookery Swamp and the Shaggy Cypress Swamp illustrates the dense, water-dependent ecosystems that historically defined this part of the interior peninsula.
