About this map

Everglades Wildlife Management Area dominates this early 1970s orthophotomap, showing the intricate hydrology and vegetation of Conservation Area No 3A. The landscape is defined by the rigid geometry of the Miami Canal and New River Canal intersecting the wetland, where water is impounded periodically to manage the ecosystem. A solitary Camp and a Gaging Sta appear as small outposts of human activity within the sawgrass and sloughs. Small water bodies like Gator Lake punctuate the green expanse, while specialized transport routes such as the Airboat South Trail and Holiday Trail reveal how the interior was navigated before modern encroachment. The photographic base of this survey captures the organic patterns of the hammock and marsh before significant late-century changes to the regional water management system.
