1958 Map of Immokalee SW

About this map

Big Corkscrew Island and Smallwood Island emerge as slightly elevated regions within the watery expanses of the western Everglades during the mid-twentieth century. This environment is defined by its complex drainage patterns, where slow-moving water corridors known as strands—including Baucom Cypress Strand, Keais Strand, and Rice Straw Strand—navigate through the larger Corkscrew Swamp. Human presence in this wet landscape is marked primarily by extraction and resource management, with an Oil Well, Quarry, and Gravel Pit located on the eastern margins. The map reflects a period before heavy modern development, showing the natural transition between the Shaggy Cypress Swamp and isolated water bodies like Cox Lake and Brown Lake. The purple revisions from 1973 indicate early changes in road infrastructure and drainage that would begin to alter these traditional wetlands.
