1953 Map of Okeechobee 4 NE

About this map

The Allapattah Flats dominate this interior Florida landscape, where the flat, wet terrain is defined by a network of drainage features and agricultural infrastructure. The settlement of Bluefield sits at a critical intersection where the Florida East Coast rail line cuts diagonally through the marshy expanse. This 1950s survey reflects the engineering of the Florida Everglades and its surroundings, showing the extensive use of Levee systems and canals to manage the water table for land use. Distinctive ecological markers like Myrtle Slough, Boar Hammock, and Myer Hammock indicate slightly elevated ground or drainage patterns in an otherwise level environment. Several instances of a Flowing Well suggest the reliance on artesian water sources for the isolated outposts and farms of the era.
