1956 Map of West Palm Beach
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The Everglades and Big Cypress Swamp dominate the Southern Florida interior, revealing a mid-century landscape defined by massive water management projects and scattered agricultural settlements. Along the southern rim of Lake Okeechobee, communities like Pahokee, Belle Glade, and the small settlement of Chosen are linked by a complex network of drainage works including the Miami Canal, Hillsboro Canal, and Bolles Canal. These engineering feats allowed for the expansion of inland towns like Immokalee and Clewiston into once-impenetrable wetlands.
