1973 Map of Fiftymile Bend

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Dade-Collier Transition and Training Airport dominates the northeast corner of this remote Big Cypress landscape, its massive runways carved into the wetlands during the early 1970s. The Tamiami Trail and parallel Tamiami Canal slice a straight line across the north, serving as the primary corridor for small outposts like Fiftymile Bend and the Poolita Station. The map illustrates a transition from aviation infrastructure to traditional Everglades navigation, evidenced by the Lostmans Airboat Trail and the Corn Dance Trail winding south. Unique cultural and terrain features are noted throughout the hammocks, including several locations marked as Indian Village, the Trail Gospel Center, and isolated Oil Well sites. The intricate patterns of Roberts Lake Strand and Dayhoff Slough reveal the natural flow of water across the Collier and Monroe County line.
