1956 Map of Crewsville SW

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The boundary between Hardee Co and De Soto Co runs through this sparsely settled landscape of central Florida as it appeared in the mid-1950s. The terrain is defined by a complex network of seasonal wetlands and drainages, most notably the meandering course of Fish Branch in the northwest and Joshua Creek in the southwest. A lone Flowing Well is marked near the northern edge, indicating the importance of groundwater access in this cattle and citrus region. The surveying work, based on aerial photography from 1952 and planetable surveys from 1956, captures a moment before intensive modern development, where intermittent water features like Mossy Gully dictated the placement of roads and the rhythm of rural life.
