1958 Map of La Belle NW

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Fisheating Creek dominates this 1958 survey of the Florida interior, winding through a broad, marshy corridor that defines the drainage patterns of this portion of Glades County. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of wetlands and intermittent waterways, with Rainey Slough cutting a wide path from the northwest toward the center of the quadrangle. Smaller tributaries like Bee Branch and the winding Chaparral Slough illustrate the natural hydrologic flow of the region before significant modern drainage alterations. This survey, compiled from aerial photographs taken in the early 1950s and verified by planetable methods, captures the area as a largely undeveloped expanse of Florida ranch land and wetlands, where movement was primarily dictated by the seasonal rise and fall of these water systems.
