1953 Map of Taylor Creek SE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Okeechobee serves as the hub of this South Florida landscape, where the town's expansion is reflected in mid-century residential developments like Basswood Estates and Whispering Pines. The map captures a transition in local infrastructure, showing the Seaboard Coast Line running alongside an Old Railroad Grade, tracing the path of former rail operations through the marshy terrain. Educational and social landmarks are prominent, including the Florida School for Boys and Brown High Sch, while local neighborhoods such as Barber Quarters and Cypress Quarters indicate the segregated residential patterns typical of the era. To the north, the meandering path of Taylor Creek defines the drainage of the area, complemented by Mosquito Creek to the southeast, illustrating the hydrological management essential to this low-lying region near the great lake.
