1945 Map of Delta

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Loxahatchee Slough dominates the central landscape of this Palm Beach County region, reflecting the intricate wetland patterns of South Florida before more intensive suburban development. The 1945 planetable surveys capture the early footprint of Delta, a small settlement positioned along the diagonal route of the Seaboard railroad. By the early 1980s, photogrammetric revisions introduce the burgeoning infrastructure of Palm Beach Gardens, including sprawling residential tracts and a prominent Golf Course. The map highlights a significant transition in transportation as the traditional rail line is joined by modern high-speed corridors like Floridas Turnpike (Toll Road). Researchers can trace the arrival of modern convenience via Interchange 44 and its associated Tollgate, which stand in contrast to the earlier Landing Strip and the vast undeveloped expanses of the slough that characterize the area's original wilderness state.
