1974 Map of Everglades City

About this map

Everglades and the surrounding coastal wetlands of Everglades National Park appear here in a detailed orthophotomap format, blending aerial imagery with topographic precision. The settlement of Everglades is positioned at the mouth of the Barron River, serving as a gateway to the intricate labyrinth of the Thousand Islands. This coastal landscape is a complex network of mangrove keys and tidal bays, including Gaskin Bay and Chokoloskee Bay. Further inland, the map identifies local landmarks such as the Ranger Sta and the historic Fakahatchee Cem near Fakahatchee. Navigation through this environment is traced by the Wilderness Waterway, which snakes through Lane Cove and south toward the Gulf of Mexico. Named features like Jack Daniels Key, Indian Key, and Russell Key provide critical orientation points for those studying the mid-1970s hydrology and coastal geography of this section of the Florida peninsula.
