1957 Map of Long Island Marsh NE

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Cow Slough meanders across this low-lying Florida landscape, which was mapped in 1957 using a combination of aerial photography and planetable surveys. The terrain is defined by a dense network of marshes and seasonal wetlands, illustrating the drainage patterns of the interior peninsula before significant modern water management. Along the western edge, the De Soto Co Highlands Co boundary divides the territory, while a prominent Fence Line bisects the central sections, marking large-scale land divisions in this rural expanse. This 1950s survey captures a moment in South-Central Florida's history when the landscape remained dominated by traditional overland routes like the Footman Trail, which cuts through the northeastern corner of the quadrangle. The map is a detailed record of a sparsely populated region, showing primarily natural drainage and established livestock or property boundaries.
