1974 Map of Everglades 2 SE

About this map

The Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation and Florida State Miccosukee Indian Reservation dominate this orthophotomap, showing the complex water-management landscape of the northern Everglades in the mid-1970s. The topography is defined by significant hydrological engineering, including the L-28 Interceptor Canal and the L-28 Tieback, designed to manage flow into Conservation Area No 3A. This particular zone is notable for its classification as water impounded periodically in this area, illustrating how the natural flow was modified for conservation and flood control. Human infrastructure is sparse but specific, marked by Pump Station No 4 and the remote Matthews Airfield. This aerial perspective provides a distinct look at the vegetation patterns and water-level boundaries within the Everglades Wildlife Management Area, highlighting the intersection of indigenous lands and state-managed wetlands.
