1956 Map of Murdock

About this map

North Port and the village of Murdock define this mid-century Florida landscape, showing a period of transition as grid-patterned residential developments began to overlay the natural hydrology of the Gulf Coast. The survey highlights the significant drainage network of Big Slough, which winds southward toward the Myakka River at the southwestern corner. Local landmarks of the era include an Airway Beacon and a Golf Course, reflecting the early infrastructure of this growing community. A notable geographic feature, Little Salt Spring, appears as a unique hydrological point within the burgeoning street grid. The map also documents numerous instances of Flowing Wells, indicating the high water table and the importance of groundwater access for the area's development. This edition includes purple-tinted updates that reveal the rapid expansion of the North Port Corporation Boundary across the Sarasota and Charlotte County line.
