1970 Map of Lakeport

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Fisheating Creek winds through the heart of this Glades County landscape, its course through Sheridan Bend and Cowbone Marsh illustrating the complex natural drainage patterns of south Florida before intensive modern water management. The 1970 orthophotomosaic reveals a transitional period where agricultural infrastructure like the Herbert Hoover Dyke and the Rim Canal coexist with long-standing indigenous and pioneer landmarks. Genealogists and historians will note the proximity of the settlement of Lakeport to the Brighton Indian Reservation, alongside significant archaeological sites including Fort Centre and numerous Indian Mounds. The presence of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and local thoroughfares like Snakepens Road highlight the transportation network that supported the region's rural economy of hammocks and sloughs.
