About this map

Hydrology and remote access routes dominate this interior landscape of South Florida during the late 1950s. The terrain is characterized by intricate wetlands and intermittent water bodies, most notably the winding path of Collins Slough which cuts through the southern portion of the sheet. Human presence is sparse, centered around seasonal or temporary sites like the Hunting Camp located in the northeastern sector, accessible only by a system of unimproved tracks and a few sections of Private road.

Industrial history is preserved through the physical remains of transportation networks, specifically the Atlantic Coast Line Old Railroad Grade and other sections simply marked as Old Railroad Grade. These routes suggest an era when logging or early agriculture relied on rail before the transition to the modern road system seen emerging at the margins. The survey provides a clear look at the township and range divisions across the Hendry County line, documenting a landscape still largely defined by its natural drainage patterns.
