About this map

Jacks Branch carves a significant drainage corridor through the landscape of the Florida interior during the mid-1950s. The region is defined by its complex hydrology, where the boundaries of Charlotte, Glades, Lee, and Hendry counties converge amidst a network of wetlands and intermittent water bodies. A Flowing Well in the western reaches suggests the active tapping of groundwater for agricultural or livestock use during this period of development. Near the southern map edge, the Fort Denaud Cem stands as a primary landmark for genealogists and local historians, alongside a smaller, unnamed Cem situated further north. The map documents a sparsely settled territory dominated by natural features like Jacks Lake and Cypress Cr, showing the rural character of the land before late-century intensification.
