1959 Map of Miles City

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The settlement of Miles City sits at a critical junction of infrastructure and wilderness in this late-1950s survey of the Florida Everglades. Dominated by the Atlantic Coast Line railroad and the Miles City Lookout Tower, the area reveals a landscape defined by water and slightly elevated hammocks. The map meticulously records numerous archaeological sites, including a prominent Indian Mound in the northwest and the East Hinson Indian Mounds to the east, suggesting long-standing human presence in this swampy environment. Expansive wetland systems like the Okaloacoochee Slough and East Hinson Marsh are punctuated by named high points such as Hog Island, Platt Island, and Lone Chickee Island. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and the East Hinson Grade trace the history of regional transport and resource extraction through the Fakahatchee Strand and Miles City Prairie before modern drainage and development altered these traditional corridors.
