1953 Map of Indiantown NW

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Allapattah Flats dominates the southwestern corner of this South Florida landscape, where the wetland terrain of Martin and St. Lucie counties begins its slow transition toward drainage and development. Originally surveyed in the early 1950s with updates from 1980, the map illustrates the emerging grid of Port St Lucie at the northeastern edge, showing a planned network of streets and designated Park areas amidst the native marshland. The artificial division of the landscape is punctuated by the St Lucie Co County Line Canal, which runs straight across the sheet, marking the jurisdictional boundary while facilitating water management. To the southeast, natural drainage patterns are still evident along Green Ridge and Cane Slough, where the elevation changes are subtle but significant for the local hydrology. This document records a critical era when residential expansion first began to square off against the wilder Spoil Bank and flats of the interior.
