1958 Map of Immokalee SW

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Big Corkscrew Island and Smallwood Island emerge as slightly elevated ground within the vast, water-logged expanse of the western Everglades during the late 1950s. This survey, compiled from aerial photography and planetable fieldwork, documents a landscape dominated by complex drainage patterns and seasonal wetlands. Distinctive corridors of cypress growth are identified as strands, including Baucom Cypress Strand and Rice Straw Strand, while the denser Corkscrew Swamp and Shaggy Cypress Swamp cover significant portions of the terrain. Human activity is sparse but notable for its industrial character, with an Oil Well, a Quarry, and a Gravel Pit located on the eastern side of the quadrangle. These features, alongside isolated benchmarks like BM 22, indicate the early stages of resource extraction and infrastructure development in this corner of Collier County.
