1956 Map of Long Island Marsh SW

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Long Island Marsh defines this interior landscape of the Florida peninsula, where the borders of De Soto and Charlotte Counties meet amidst a complex network of seasonal wetlands. The map reveals an intricate drainage system characterized by named sloughs and bayous, including Tiger Bay Slough and Myrtle Slough, which weave through the low-lying terrain. This 1950s survey, updated in the late 1980s, documents a transitional era of land use where citrus groves and agricultural patterns began to formalize around the natural hydrology of Prairie Creek and Rattlesnake Gully.
