1945 Map of Delta

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Loxahatchee Slough dominates this mid-century Florida landscape, appearing as a wide corridor of wetlands and intermittent water that separates emerging residential developments from the undeveloped interior. This 1945 survey, updated with revisions in 1983, shows the northward expansion of West Palm Beach and the organized street grids of Palm Beach Gardens. Transportation infrastructure defines the area's growth patterns, with the diagonal line of the Seaboard railroad cutting across the slough towards the small settlement of Delta. To the east, modern transit is represented by the Floridas Turnpike and its Toll Road components, including the Tollgate at Interchange 44. This map preserves the transition from a swamp-dominated wilderness to a structured suburban environment, noted by the presence of a remote Landing Strip and multiple golf courses carved out of the natural terrain.
