1953 Map of Okeechobee 4 SW

About this map

Lake Okeechobee dominates the western half of this Florida survey, reflecting the complex engineering of its eastern shore in the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by extensive water-management features, including a massive Levee system and several Spoil Bank deposits that line the coast. Along the edge of Chaney Bay, industrial and agricultural infrastructure appears through numerous Pumping Stations and a Windmill, illustrating the effort to reclaim and manage the land adjacent to the water's edge.
