1953 Map of Fellsmere NW

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The St Johns Marsh dominates the southern landscape of this 1950s survey, revealing an intricate system of water management in the Florida wetlands. Constructed infrastructure, including numerous instances of a Spoil Bank and a continuous Levee system, crisscrosses the terrain, marking the intersection of natural hydrology and human engineering. These features delineate the geometric boundaries of land reclamation and water control efforts common to this region's development era. Scattered throughout the quadrangle, several labels for a Flowing Well indicate the importance of artesian water sources for local drainage or irrigation. This map provides a detailed look at the rural landscape before more intensive late-century development, focusing primarily on the drainage patterns and the engineered barriers that shaped the early 20th-century Florida interior.
