1974 Map of East of Little Cypress Swamp

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Miami Canal serves as the central spine of this 1970s orthophotomap, cutting a straight path through the Everglades landscape south of Lake Okeechobee. This edition combines traditional topographic contours with aerial photography, revealing a stark contrast between the undisturbed wetlands and the expanding agricultural footprint of the Florida-Palm Beach Co. line. The map highlights technical infrastructure necessary for water management in this environment, including Levee 25, a pump station, and a gaging station located along the canal. The settlement of Talisman is visible in the northeastern portion of the sheet, providing a rare point of human habitation amidst the surveyed sections of the Little Cypress Swamp area. The grid-like patterns of the land suggest organized drainage and development efforts during this era of South Florida history.
