1970 Map of West Palm Beach 2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Corbett State Wildlife Management Area dominates this orthophotomap, revealing the intricate patterns of Florida's wet prairies and marshy lowlands at the start of the 1970s. This specific aerial-based topographic study captures the boundary between Martin Co and Palm Beach Co, where the natural drainage of the Everglades meets emerging infrastructure. To the northwest, the Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts a straight path through the wetlands, accompanied by scattered technical infrastructure such as a Pump, Substation, and Water Tank. Of particular archaeological and historical interest are the elevations of Big Mound and Indian Mound, which provide rare vertical relief and evidence of early human habitation within the otherwise saturated landscape. The map serves as a detailed record of the region's hydrography and land use before subsequent decades of development.
