1956 Map of Telegraph Swamp NW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Telegraph Swamp dominates the western half of this Florida interior landscape, its dense woodland areas and complex hydrology meticulously recompiled from 1973 aerial photography. The map reflects a sparsely developed region of Charlotte County where the natural drainage patterns of the swamp define the environment. While human habitation is minimal, the geometric precision of the township and range lines—specifically the boundary between R. 26 E. and R. 27 E.—imposes a human grid over the water-logged terrain. This 1950s survey, updated in the 1970s, captures the land before significant modern drainage or development altered the native wetlands of the Florida peninsula.
