1958 Map of Corkscrew SW

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary dominates the northeastern reaches of this Florida landscape, preserving a vast wetland ecosystem as it existed in the late 1950s. The topography is defined by the subtle hydrology of the western Everglades, where the Bird Rookery Swamp and Horseshoe Marsh illustrate the intricate drainage patterns of the region. Spanning the Lee and Collier County boundary, the map provides a look at an area largely untouched by the massive residential developments that would later transform southwest Florida. The survey records the intricate network of cypress strands and marshes during an era when much of the interior remained unsurveyed and accessible only through private property lines and rugged trails, long before modern drainage projects altered the flow of the local watershed.
