Talbert Drainage District

Local landowners gave Sam Talbert the job of draining "Gospel Swamp." He built a river levee, and dredged huge ditches on the east side of all major roads that ran south to the ocean.

Marker is at the intersection of Talbert Avenue and Bushard Street, on the right when traveling west on Talbert Avenue.
