1974 Map of Everglades 1 NW

About this map

North New River Canal cuts a sharp diagonal through this 1970s orthophotomap, illustrating the engineered management of the Florida Everglades. The landscape is a study in agricultural transformation, divided by a rigid grid of section lines and water management infrastructure. Parallel to the canal, Levee 19 and Levee 18 define the boundary between different land use zones, separating cultivated fields from the expansive wetland areas of Palm Beach County. Several Pumps are positioned along the primary waterway, essential for maintaining the precarious balance of drainage required for this reclaimed environment. This specific survey, based on 1971 aerial photography, documents the industrial scale of the sugar and vegetable farming operations that reshaped the northern Glades during this era.
