1956 Map of Nocatee

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Peace River meanders through the heart of this DeSoto County landscape, defining the character of the citrus and cattle country surrounding Nocatee and the southern outskirts of Arcadia. During the mid-1950s, the region was a significant rail corridor where the Seaboard Air Line Railroad and Atlantic Coast Line Railroad intersected near the town centers. An Old Railroad Grade in the north suggests earlier timber or phosphate transport routes that had already shifted by this era. Local community life is anchored by landmarks such as Mt Eben Ch and Owens Cem, while the hydrology is marked by numerous water bodies including Bee Gum Lake, Johnson Lake, and Grass Lake. The convergence of Horse Creek and Joshua Creek with the main river channel illustrates the complex drainage system of this Florida interior.
