1970 Map of West Palm Beach 2 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Corbett State Wildlife Management Area dominates the eastern half of this landscape, showcasing a complex mosaic of Florida wetlands and cypress strands as they appeared in 1970. The transition from these preserved wetlands to a strictly gridded agricultural and water management system is starkly visible. This engineered environment is defined by significant waterways including the West Palm Beach Canal and the L-8 Canal, which run alongside the Big Mound Canal to regulate the flow across the flat terrain. Evidence of localized infrastructure is sparse but notable, featuring a Landing Strip near the prominent elevation of Big Mound and several Pump stations situated at critical junctions. This orthophotomap provides a rare hybrid view, combining traditional topographic linework with actual aerial photography to reveal the fine-grained patterns of land use and drainage that shaped Palm Beach County during this era.
