1972 Map of Burns Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Concho stands as a small landmark in this orthophotomap of the Florida Everglades, an area defined by the intricate textures of sawgrass and cypress strands. The southern edge of the sheet is anchored by the vital transportation corridor of the Tamiami Trail and the adjacent Tamiami Canal, which serve as the primary human interventions in an otherwise untamed wetland. To the north, the landscape opens into Windmill Prairie, a distinct terrain feature where the vegetation patterns shift away from the dense hammocks. The 1970s aerial photography reveals the seasonal water patterns and subtle changes in elevation that dictate the location of Burns Road and the small body of Burns Lake. This survey captures the region after the establishment of major crossing routes but before extensive modern environmental restoration efforts in the Big Cypress area.
