1963 Map of Fort Lauderdale 2 SE

About this map

The Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northwestern landscape of this 1963 survey, reflecting the mid-century water management efforts across the northern Everglades. Separated by a series of engineered structures, the terrain is defined by Conservation Area No 1 and Conservation Area No 2A, where water is impounded periodically to manage regional flow. A network of embankments including Levee No 39, Levee No 40, and Levee No 36 channel the water into the prominent Hillsboro Canal.
