1971 Map of West Palm Beach 2 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The J W Corbett Wildlife Management Area dominates the northern reaches of this Florida landscape, showcasing the preservation of wetlands before the intense agricultural and residential expansion of later decades. This 1971 survey, updated with 1980 aerial photogrammetry, reveals a striking contrast between the organic patterns of the natural environment and the rigid, gridded geometry of managed land to the south and east. Distinctive human imprints are found in the remote Landing Strip and the South Florida Youth Conservation Camp Sewage Disposal site, indicating specialized land use within the conservation area. Water management is a central theme, with the presence of a Canal and Slough near the area identified as Hungryland, documenting the hydrological engineering essential to the development of Palm Beach County.
