1958 Map of Felda NE

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Collins Slough dominates the southeastern quadrant of this Hendry County landscape, where the natural drainage patterns of the Florida Everglades meet the emerging geometry of mid-century agricultural development. The transit infrastructure is defined by the Seaboard Coast Line running diagonally across the northwest, providing a heavy rail link for the region's produce and timber. Further east, an Old Railroad Grade and various private tracks trace earlier efforts to move materials through the wet prairies and hammocks. A solitary Hunting Camp sits near the center of the sheet, suggesting the seasonal recreational use of the land between more formal agricultural grids. The map reveals the slow transformation of the interior, as drainage canals and property lines begin to segment the sprawling marshes that once defined the southern Florida wilderness.
