1953 Map of Indian Town SE

About this map

The Okeechobee Waterway and St Lucie Canal dominate this landscape, illustrating the mid-century transformation of Florida’s interior drainage and navigation systems. Engineering works are prominent, specifically the St Lucie Lock and Dam and a nearby Gaging Station situated north of the settlement of Arundel. The map reflects a period of infrastructure expansion, showing the Floridas State Toll Road Turnpike cutting through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. North of the canal, the historic Hanson Grant boundary and the natural course of Hog Creek contrast with the straight-line drainage ditches and spoil banks that define the managed wetlands to the south. Along the South Fork St Lucie River, a Fish Hatchery is noted, while the western terrain is marked by the subtle elevation of Green Ridge and the winding Cane Slough.
