1959 Map of Miles City

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Okaloacoochee Slough and the vast marshes of the Florida Everglades define this 1959 landscape, where the Atlantic Coast Line railroad cuts a straight north-south line through the swamp. The small settlement of Miles City sits at a critical junction near the Miles City Lookout Tower, serving as a remote outpost in a territory of strands and hammocks. Local landmarks like Model T Flat and Lone Chickee Island reflect the specific human history of this wet prairie, while numerous Indian Mounds throughout the Fakahatchee Strand and Bear Island Strand indicate long-standing indigenous presence in the region. Evidence of early industry and transportation is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and an Airway Beacon, marking the intersection of traditional swamp navigation and mid-century modern infrastructure.
