1958 Map of Palmdale

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Fisheating Creek meanders through the heart of the Florida interior, creating a dense riparian corridor that breaks the geometric grid of the Glades. In this 1958 landscape, revised in 1973, the settlement of Palmdale serves as a central hub where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad intersects with local roads. To the south, the community of Harrisburg sits near a prominent Levee and Borrow Pit, signaling the early engineering efforts to manage the wetlands of south-central Florida. The southern portion of the quadrangle includes Hall City, positioned near the Turkey Branch and York Branch waterways. This map documents a transitional period for the region, showing established Flowing Well sites and a Gaging Station used to monitor the vital waters of Picnic Lake and Rock Lake before more extensive drainage and development altered the natural hydrology of the Everglades basin.
