About this map

The Allapattah Flats dominate this landscape, revealing a period of early water management and drainage efforts along the boundary of St. Lucie and Martin counties. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the terrain is defined by a sparse network of infrastructure including a prominent east-west Canal and multiple Levee systems designed to control the local hydrology. This environment reflects the transition of Florida's interior wetlands into managed tracts, marked by features such as the Green Ridge Slough and various Spoil Banks. The presence of a localized Well and specific boundary markings highlights the early surveying of these flats before modern large-scale development altered the natural drainage patterns of the region.
