1974 Map of Everglades 2 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Miami Canal serves as the central drainage artery for this section of the Everglades, illustrating the mid-1970s push to manage the South Florida landscape for agricultural use. The orthophotomap format reveals a distinct pattern of land reclamation, where rectangular blocks of dark green vegetation contrast sharply against the lighter, undeveloped sawgrass marshes. The settlement of Talisman stands as a small pocket of activity within this highly engineered environment, supported by water control infrastructure such as Levee 23, a Gaging Station, and a Pump station. This map captures a specific phase of Palm Beach County history, documenting the transition of the wetlands into structured, productive plots through a system of canals and levees.
