1958 Map of Madison SW

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

San Pedro Bay dominates this late-1950s landscape, illustrating a vast wetland wilderness characterized by complex drainage patterns and dense swamp vegetation. The terrain is marked by its low elevation and significant hydrologic features, with a network of unnamed streams and cypress strands that historically defined this part of Florida. Human encroachment into this environment was minimal during this period, centered primarily around the New Oakland Ch in the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. The map highlights the intersection of the Madison County and Taylor County line, which bisects the wetlands. Observation and management of this remote area are indicated by the presence of the Sinclair Lookout, a critical point for monitoring the timberlands and swamp during the mid-century era.
