1982 Map of Everglades City

About this map

Everglades City and the neighboring community of Chokoloskee anchor this coastal survey, where the terrestrial world gives way to the intricate maze of the Thousand Islands. The map illustrates the region's mid-century development patterns along the Tamiami Trail, featuring inland settlements like Ochopee, Jerome, and Monroe Station that supported the area's transit and extraction industries. This era shows a landscape shifting toward preservation, with large-scale boundaries established for Everglades National Park, the Big Cypress National Preserve, and the Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve.
