1953 Map of Okeechobee 4 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The northeastern shoreline of Lake Okeechobee serves as the dominant landscape feature of this 1950s survey, illustrating the complex intersection of natural Florida wetlands and mid-century civil engineering. Two major railroads, the Seaboard Air Line and the Florida East Coast, run parallel to the coast, facilitating the movement of goods and passengers through this marshy frontier. The map captures a moment when the land was being heavily managed via an extensive Levee system and multiple Spoil Banks, aimed at controlling the waters of Nubbin Slough and Van Swearingen Creek.
