1957 Map of Venus

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Venus serves as the central settlement point in this Florida interior landscape, situated along the north-south corridor of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. The map documents a transition in the South Florida environment where dry prairie and flatwoods meet the marshy wetlands typical of the region's drainage patterns. This 1950s-era topography illustrates the geographic divide at the Highlands Co Glades Co boundary, marking where the cattle-ranching country of Highlands County meets the northern reaches of Glades County. Significant hydrological features include the Platt Branch, which winds through the western portion of the quadrangle. The survey provides a clear view of the early transportation network and land parcels before more intensive modern development altered the drainage and local land use.
