1956 Map of Ft. Ogden

About this map

The Peace River dominates the western half of this Florida landscape, winding southward toward Whidden Bay. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts diagonally across the terrain, serving the interior settlements of Hull and Ft Ogden. This mid-century survey illustrates the rural character of the region before significant coastal expansion, showing clusters of community life at the Ft Ogden Cem and the nearby Ft Winder Ch. In the southern reaches, newer developments like Peace River Shores appear alongside older named locales such as Morgantown and Glen. The map captures a detailed hydrographic network including Hancock Lake, Lettuce Lake, and the braided channels of Hunters Creek, illustrating the complex water systems that defined life and transport in this part of DeSoto and Charlotte counties.
