1971 Map of West Palm Beach 2 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Corbett State Wildlife Management Area dominates this northern Florida landscape, revealing a mosaic of wetlands and hammocks preserved before the full reach of coastal expansion. The map is defined by a rigid grid of industrial water management, where the L-8 Canal and Big Mound Canal cut diagonal and vertical lines across the natural terrain to control the flow toward the West Palm Beach Canal. This intersection of wild land and civil engineering is punctuated by remote landmarks like the Landing Strip and the natural rise of Big Mound. The topographic data from this 1970 survey captures the region just before significant land-use changes, documenting a specialized network of pumps and bench marks essential for navigating and draining this interior territory.
