1956 Map of Murdock

About this map

Little Salt Spring and the winding course of Big Slough define the northern reaches of this coastal Florida landscape before the rapid expansion of mid-century development. While earlier surveys show a terrain dominated by wetlands and flowing wells, the 1970 photorevisions reveal the planned grid of North Port Charlotte and the extensive network of the Cocoplum Waterway. This era represents a significant transformation of the watershed, where the natural drainage of the Myakka River basin meets the engineered canals of new residential blocks.
