1958 Map of Goodno

About this map

Coffee Mill Hammock and the surrounding wet prairies of south-central Florida are the central focus of this 1958 survey. The landscape is defined by the managed waters of the Caloosahatchee Canal, where the Ortona Lock Spillway 10 regulates flow through the Glades. Early human occupation and historical land use are evident in the Indian Mound near Ortona and the presence of an Old Railroad Grade running through the southern section of the quadrangle. Small settlements like Citrus Center and Goodno are connected by a network of drainage features and hammocks, including Long Hammock. This map provides a look at the region’s topography before extensive modern development, detailing the intricate system of branches like Deadmans Branch and Turkey Branch that drain into the Linden Pens Marsh.
