1957 Map of Telegraph Swamp SE

About this map

Jacks Branch and its companion, Jacks Lake, anchor this South Florida landscape where the borders of Charlotte, Glades, Lee, and Hendry counties converge. Surveyed in the late 1950s and updated with aerial data in the early 1970s, the map reveals a transition from natural wetlands to organized land use. The presence of the Plowing Well and various drainage features indicates the early efforts to manage the water table in this low-lying region.
