1953 Map of Okeechobee 4 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Lake Okeechobee dominates this mid-century topographic survey, showing the eastern shoreline where Martin and Palm Beach counties meet. The landscape is defined by the massive water control efforts of the era, featuring an extensive network of the Levee and several Spoil Banks designed to manage the lake's edges. Inland, the Florida East Coast rail line runs parallel to the shore, cutting through a low-lying terrain dotted with local infrastructure like a Pumping Station and several Windmills. The map captures a transitional moment in Florida's water management history, with Chaney Bay serving as a prominent indentation along a coast increasingly structured by engineering. This document provides a clear look at the early drainage and transportation corridors that shaped the agricultural and residential development of this specific stretch of the Florida coast.
