1972 Map of Florida
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The Clarence Cannon Reservoir dominates this 1972 survey, its planned inundation levels marked by blue hatching across the rugged valley of the Salt River. This period of transformation in Monroe County shows the landscape as the dam project was underway, potentially altering many long-standing river features. Near the village of Florida, the Mark Twain State Park occupies the high ground overlooking the confluence of the North Fork Salt River and the Middle Fork. The map documents a blend of rural community life and industry, from the Victor Ch and South Fork Ch to several active Strip Mine operations and a Claypit in the northern hills. Topographic details such as Buzzards Roost and the winding Vaughn Hollow provide a clear view of the terrain before it was reshaped by the rising reservoir waters.
