1956 Map of Crewsville SW

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Joshua Creek and its drainage network define this low-lying region along the border of Hardee and DeSoto counties. This survey reflects the landscape as it appeared in the mid-1950s, characterized by expansive wetlands and drainage features like Mossy Gully and Fish Branch. The terrain is largely dominated by agricultural tracts and marshes, with scattered signs of rural infrastructure such as a remote Landing Strip in the northeast and a Flowing Well in the northwest. These details provide a look at land management and water control in South Florida before late-20th-century development altered many of the state's rural interiors. The map is particularly useful for tracking historical watercourses and identifying early property boundaries in this sparsely populated cattle and citrus region.
