1944 Map of Myakka River

About this map

Manhattan Farms and the Triangle junction anchor the northwest corner of this coastal Florida landscape, surveyed during the mid-1940s. The region is defined by a dense network of seasonal wetlands and prairie sloughs, with the Myakka River winding through the center. This survey provides a look at the area's transition into an active resource and military zone, featuring a designated Bombing Area and several industrial sites such as the Havoline Sand Pit and various Marl Pits.
