1974 Map of Everglades 1 SW

About this map

Everglades Wildlife Management Area dominates this mid-1970s orthophotomap, showing the complex water management systems of southern Florida. The map detail highlights the Miami Canal and the critical infrastructure of Levee 6 and Levee 5 which delineate the boundary between Palm Beach and Broward counties. This orthophoto provides a photographic perspective of the wetland terrain, revealing the network of Airboat Trails cutting through the vegetation. Central to the landscape is Conservation Area No 3A, where water is impounded periodically. The imagery captures the transition between managed water conservation zones and the more structured patterns appearing along the northern quadrangle border.
