1958 Map of Corkscrew SW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary dominates this ecological record of Southwest Florida, capturing the intricate water patterns and wetlands of the region during the late 1950s. The map illustrates the hydrological complexity of the Corkscrew Swamp and the Bird Rookery, where seasonal water levels and slow-moving sheets of water shaped the local environment before extensive modern drainage projects. The border between Lee and Collier counties bisects a landscape of marshy depressions and sloughs, including the distinctively shaped Horseshoe Marsh. While largely uninhabited, the survey reveals a network of early section lines and land boundaries established by private surveys, providing a detailed base for understanding the historical conservation efforts in one of Florida's most vital wetland ecosystems.
