1973 Map of Fiftymile Bend

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41) cuts a sharp diagonal across this orthophotomap of the Florida Everglades, serving as the primary corridor for commerce and travel through the wetlands. Along this route, the small settlement of Fiftymile Bend and the Paolita Station represent the sparse human footprint in a landscape dominated by sawgrass and cypress strands. The map documents a specific moment in Everglades infrastructure, featuring the large Dade-Collier Transition and Training Airport in the northern section and several areas labeled Indian Village, reflecting the cultural presence in the region. Natural features like Corn Dance Hammock and Dayhoff Slough are clearly visible through the aerial imagery, highlighting the complex drainage patterns of the swamp. To the south, the community of Pinecrest stands near a Radio Tower, while the Miami Canal underscores the long history of water management in the territory.
