1956 Map of Myakka City

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Myakka River defines the drainage of this interior section of Manatee County, winding through a complex landscape of wetlands and prairie just as development began to touch the rural landscape. In the northeastern corner, the small grid of Myakka City serves as the primary settlement center, while the unincorporated area of Parmalee sits further west. The topography is dominated by hydrological features like the Tatum Sawgrass marsh and several named sloughs and gullies, including Tatum Gully and Mossy Island Slough. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the Sardis Cem located south of the river, along with notable water bodies such as Cason Lake, Lettuce Lake, and Roxy Pond. The southwestern portion of the sheet shows the beginnings of the State Park, documenting the preservation of the river corridor amid the scattered homesteads and dirt roads that characterized the region in the mid-1950s.
