1974 Map of Everglades 1 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Agricultural development and water management structures define this section of the Florida landscape in the mid-1970s. The map captures the sharp boundary between industrial-scale cultivation and preserved wetlands, dominated by the Browns Farm Wildlife Management Area and the Everglades Wildlife Management Area. These protected sectors contrast with the geometric grid of fields to the north, which rely on an extensive network of canals and Pumps for drainage. Cutting diagonally through the terrain, Levee 18 serves as a critical piece of infrastructure, separating the actively farmed lands from the deeper marshlands of the south. This orthophotomap provides a clear view of the land-use patterns at the edge of the Everglades, showing how civil engineering transformed the region's hydrology.
