1956 Map of Glades

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Everglades National Park dominates this subtropical landscape where the freshwater glades meet the saltwater reaches of Barnes Sound and Manatee Bay. The 1950s era infrastructure is defined by water management and early coastal access, featuring the straight cuts of Canal 111 and the Glades Canal. These engineered waterways intersect the natural marshland, reflecting the mid-century effort to drain and manage the Florida wetlands for flood control and development.
