1973 Map of Big Lostmans Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Willy Willy Indian Mound and a solitary campsite mark the human footprint in this intricate network of mangrove keys and tidal channels within Everglades National Park during the early 1970s. This orthophotomap provides a rare overhead look at the subtropical landscape where land and water merge seamlessly, from the expanse of Big Lostmans Bay to the dense thickets of Cocoanut Hammock. The Wilderness Waterway threads through the center of the sheet, connecting Rodgers River Bay and Cabbage Island. This survey captures the region just before modern environmental management shifted, documenting the natural state of water bodies like Third Bay, Mullet Bay, and Lost Lake before significant changes in the greater Florida watershed. The presence of Indian Camp Creek and Dixons Slough illustrates the traditional nomenclature of this coastal wilderness.
