1971 Map of West Palm Beach 2 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Corbett State Wildlife Management Area dominates this landscape, showing a dense mosaic of wetland and upland habitats in the early 1970s. The orthophotomap format provides an unfiltered look at the complex hydrology of the region, where the natural Slough and the marshy expanse of Hungryland contrast with the rigid geometry of the drainage system. Large-scale water management is evidenced by the prominent L-8 Canal and additional Canal routes designed to move water across the flat terrain. Human infrastructure is sparse but specific, including a Landing Strip, several Pumps, and the South Florida Youth Conservation Camp. The presence of Seminole Road and various land lines established by private survey indicate the ongoing efforts to reconcile conservation with the growing needs of Palm Beach County.
