1949 Map of Rood

About this map

The Northwest Fork Loxahatchee River meanders through a landscape of wetlands and cypress strands at the border of Martin and Palm Beach counties. In this post-war environment, the small settlement of Rood sits near the center of the sheet, while the emerging Jupiter Corporation Limits are visible to the east. The terrain is defined by the expansive Loxahatchee Slough and a series of drainage projects, indicated by several segments of Levee. Local social life and education are represented by the Jupiter Sch, Mt Carmel Ch, and the Church of God. Distinctive landmarks such as the Trappers Zoo and an Indian Mound near Cypress Creek reflect the area's diverse history, from prehistoric habitation to early 20th-century Florida roadside attractions.
