1956 Map of Edgeville

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Edgeville and Sandy sit as small inland outposts in this 1956 planetable survey of the Florida interior. The landscape is defined by its low-lying drainage patterns, characterized by slow-moving water bodies like Wildcat Slough and Big Slough. These natural features, along with a network of shallow basins including Long Pond, Dog Pond, and Roxy Pond, illustrate the intricate hydrology of the Manatee and De Soto county lines before significant modern drainage alterations. Small seasonal tributaries such as Owen Creek and Sand Branch weave through the terrain, marking the rural character of the region during the mid-20th century. The survey captures the area at a quiet moment, documenting the primitive road network and localized naming conventions like Buzzard Roost Branch that grounded the community's geography.
