1973 Map of Custard Apple Hammock

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Everglades Wildlife Management Area and Conservation Area No 3A dominate this early 1970s orthophotomap, revealing the intricate water-and-island morphology of the Florida Everglades. The landscape is defined by the flow of the Shark Valley Slough, where distinct tear-drop shaped hammocks rise above the seasonally flooded sawgrass. The namesake Custard Apple Hammock stands as a prominent tree island in this hydrological system, indicating the subtle elevation changes that support woody vegetation. Human activity in this wet environment is marked by specialized transport routes like the Melaleuca Airboat Trail and a simple Camp. This survey, created from 1971 aerial photography, documents the region where water impounded periodically in this area reflects the managed plumbing of the modern Everglades along the Broward and Dade county line.
