1956 Map of Grossman Hammock

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Everglades National Park dominates the western half of this landscape, marking a sharp boundary between preserved wetlands and the encroaching agricultural and residential grid of South Florida. During the mid-1950s, the transition from the wild marsh of the Everglades to the structured townships of T 56 S is clearly defined by drainage patterns and pioneering roadways. Grossman Hammock serves as a notable natural landmark within the park boundary, anchored by Lake Chekika and a nearby spring. To the east, the map reveals the early development of rural infrastructure, where family-named thoroughfares like Bauer Drive and Silver Palm Drive begin to dissect the flat terrain. Aviation history is present through the Homestead General Airport and various landing strips, reflecting the region's reliance on air travel and navigation, including a dedicated Radio Range Station.
