1947 Map of Delmar Farms

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Delmar Farms and the surrounding Florida wetlands are shown here during a period of transition as inland drainage and infrastructure began to reshape the landscape west of the coast. The map illustrates a meticulously planned grid of agricultural plots and irrigation channels, centered around the settlement of Dewitt. This system of managed land is bounded to the west by expansive marshlands, showing the direct edge where development met the natural Everglades environment. The inclusion of the Sunshine State Parkway and the Delray Beach Interchange highlights the arrival of major transportation corridors that facilitated the growth of the region's agricultural economy. Local movement is anchored by Atlantic Avenue, while the Range Line and various Levees mark the engineering efforts required to reclaim this terrain for farming.
