1949 Map of Wilson

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Mosquito Lagoon and the narrow barrier islands of Florida's Atlantic coast define this coastal landscape at the mid-century. This 1949 survey documents a sparsely populated shoreline before the modern space era transformed the region, centered on the small settlement of Wilson and the agricultural pocket at Dummit Grove. The complex hydrology of the area is mapped in detail, showing the Haulover Canal and the Old Canal connecting the lagoon to northern reaches. Coastal activity is primarily concentrated around fishing and local navigation, evidenced by Ragin Fish Camp and numerous shoreline landmarks like Bull Camp and the Rich Club. The barrier beach is largely undeveloped, with Klondike Beach and Playalinda Beach stretching along the ocean, while the interior is a maze of marshy features such as Max Hoeck Creek and the Middle Banks.
