1970 Map of West Palm Beach 2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Corbett State Wildlife Management Area dominates this orthophotomosaic, showcasing the distinct transition between Florida’s managed conservation lands and expanding industrial infrastructure in the early 1970s. The map illustrates a landscape of patterned wetlands and hammocks, punctuated by the straight transit line of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad cutting across the northeastern corner. This specialized survey, created from aerial photography, provides an unusually clear view of early infrastructure like the Pump stations and Substation facilities that enabled the drainage and development of the surrounding terrain. To the south, the solitary landmark of Big Mound stands out against the low-lying wet prairie, offering a rare point of topographical relief in a region defined by its flat, intricate water patterns.
