About this map

Immokalee sits at the intersection of agricultural development and the wild Florida interior, captured here during a period of transition in the mid-20th century. The town core is surrounded by an extensive network of drainage and citrus groves, indicated by the numerous Flowing Well labels dotting the landscape. Transport and commerce are anchored by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and the Immokalee Airport, which define the northern and eastern edges of the settlement.

South of the developing town, the landscape gives way to the native wetlands of Corkscrew Swamp and the Baucom Cypress Strand. These natural features, along with Lake Trafford, dominate the western half of the map. Significant community landmarks include the Bethune Sch, a local Lookout Tower, and the settlement at Bunker Hill, providing a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting this rural Collier County hub.
