1958 Map of Palmdale

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Palmdale and the surrounding Glades County wetlands are defined by the winding course of Fisheating Creek, a primary hydrological feature that anchors the local landscape. The 1950s topography, updated with 1973 revisions, reveals a pattern of settlement and infrastructure closely tied to water management and transportation. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad bisects the region, passing through the small community of Harrisburg and near local landmarks like Picnic Lake and Rock Lake. Numerous artesian sources, noted as Flowing Wells, suggest the importance of the Floridan aquifer to this area. Towards the southern edge, the platting for Hall City appears alongside drainage features like York Branch and Turkey Branch. These elements, combined with several Levees and a Borrow Pit, illustrate the mid-century efforts to navigate and utilize this seasonally wet interior Florida terrain.
