1949 Map of Delmar Farms

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Delmar Farms and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Palm Beach County are captured here just after the war, showing a region defined by a rigid grid of drainage and reclamation. The map illustrates the intensive effort to manage the Florida Everglades, with numerous Levee systems and an extensive network of canals and ditches designed to support large-scale farming operations. Settlement is sparse, with the small community of Dewitt and the corridor along Atlantic Avenue serving as primary landmarks for local navigation. The western portion of the sheet is dominated by marshland and vegetation patterns that contrast sharply with the geometric precision of the engineered agricultural tracts to the east. This 1949 survey provides a clear view of the Range Line and the township and range boundaries that partitioned this part of South Florida before the expansion of suburban development from the coast.
