Rood Florida Jupiter Tequesta USGS Topographic Map 1983
$37.00
This USGS 7.5-minute quad depicts the Rood quadrangle in Martin and Palm Beach counties, Florida — a 1948 edition, printed in 1983, and the physical sheet is in very good condition. The map takes in Jupiter and Palm Beach Gardens, along with Tequesta and Limestone Creek, and covers terrain associated with Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Researchers tracing mid-century coastal Florida development, before the Palm Beach Gardens area was transformed by planned growth, will find the 1948 edition particularly useful as a baseline for how this stretch of the southeast coast once appeared.
