1953 Map of Fort Drum NW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Yeehaw Junction serves as the focal point of this 1953 survey, marking a significant crossroads in the marshy interior of Florida. The landscape is defined by complex drainage patterns and scattered hammocks, most notably the prominent Wolf Hammock in the southern portion of the sheet. Transportation history is etched into the terrain by the Old Railroad Grade, which runs parallel to the meandering course of Blue Cypress Creek. This era of mapping, compiled in part from 1950 aerial photographs, captures the remote character of the boundary region where Osceola, Indian River, and Okeechobee counties meet. The detailed topographic contours and numerous small water bodies illustrate the challenging wet prairie environment before extensive modern development altered the local hydrology.
