1953 Map of Okeechobee 4 SE

About this map

Allapattah Flats dominates the northern portion of this South Florida landscape, where a network of levees and drainage projects shaped the territory in the mid-20th century. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts a straight diagonal across the terrain, passing through the settlement of Zana and running parallel to an Old Railroad Grade. To the south, the St Lucie Canal serves as a major hydrological artery, noted here with a Project Depth 8 Feet. Small outposts like Bessemer and scattered landmarks such as a Windmill or Sand Pit highlight the era's rural industrial activity. The presence of several Flowing Wells and the sprawling Barber Swamp reflect the natural wetlands being actively managed through extensive Spoil Banks and engineering during this period of expansion in Martin County.
