1956 Map of Murdock SE

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Peace River and its surrounding wetlands dominate this 1950s landscape, providing a clear view of the hydrological patterns at the intersection of Sarasota, De Soto, and Charlotte counties. The terrain is characterized by an intricate network of marshes and small water bodies, with Deep Cr branching off the main river channel. The small settlement of Platt appears in the northeast corner, serving as a rare point of human habitation in this largely undeveloped area. The infrastructure of the era is most evident in the Seaboard Air Line Railroad Grade and active Seaboard Air Line tracks, which slice diagonally across the map. These rail lines illustrate the historical importance of transportation corridors in moving through the Florida interior during the mid-20th century, before major suburban expansion altered the local drainage and land use.
