1974 Map of Fort Lauderdale 2 NW

About this map

The Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge and the Everglades Wildlife Management Area dominate this 1970s orthophotomap of Palm Beach County, showing the intricate management of the Florida wetlands. The transition between managed agricultural lands and the wilder conservation areas is sharply defined by engineering works like Levee 39 and the Hillsboro Canal. Infrastructure critical to the regional water control system is visible, including Pumping Sta No 6 and multiple locations marked as Gaging Sta. Within the wetlands, an Airboat Trail cuts through the marsh, indicating the primary method of navigation in these periodically impounded waters. The map provides a photographic record of the landscape of Browns Farm Wildlife Management Area before modern development or environmental shifts altered the reach of the northern Everglades.
