1973 Map of Fortymile Bend

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Shark River Slough dominates this 1973 orthophotomap, where the watery expanse of the Everglades is interspersed with tree islands and cultural sites of the Miccosukee Indian Reservation. The landscape reveals a complex network of traditional camps and homesteads, including Smallpox Tommies Seminole Village, Pete Osceolas Farm, and Tommy Tigers Camp. This intersection of indigenous settlement and modern infrastructure is marked by the Tamiami Trail and the massive Dade-Collier Transition and Training Airport in the northwest. The aerial perspective highlights the unique geography of Miccosukee Tribe Island and the Airboat Trail system. Significant local landmarks such as the Miccosukee Sch and the Old Burying Ground reflect the deeply rooted heritage of the people living within the Everglades Wildlife Management Area.
