1974 Map of Everglades 1 SE

About this map

Agricultural reclamation and massive water management projects define this landscape on the border of Broward and Palm Beach counties during the early 1970s. The northern portion of the map shows an organized grid of fields and pumps, while the southern expanse is dominated by the Everglades Wildlife Management Area. Human presence is concentrated at the junction of major waterways, where the small settlements of Deem City and Terrytown sit adjacent to the North New River Canal. This infrastructure is vital to the region, featuring Pumping Sta No 7 and a series of barriers including Levee 5 and Levee 38W. The map provides a specialized look at Everglades navigation, marking specific paths through the sawgrass such as the Weasel Airboat Trail and several other Airboat Trail routes, essential for traversing the Conservation Area No 3 A.
