1973 Map of Flamingo

About this map

Everglades National Park dominates this south Florida landscape, showcasing the complex interface of mangrove swamps and coastal waters in the early 1970s. The settlement of Flamingo serves as the focal point for park infrastructure, featuring a Radio Tower, Light, and Campgrounds at the edge of Florida Bay. The map highlights the engineered waterways and historic access routes that defined the area, including the Buttonwood Canal Waterway and the Homestead Canal, which cut through the dense vegetation to connect larger water bodies like Coot Bay.
