1973 Map of Gator Hook Swamp

About this map

Gator Hook Swamp and the surrounding cypress strands define this 1970s orthophotomap, showing the wet, intricate landscape of southern Florida before the late-century shifts in water management. The survey captures the sharp line of the Tamiami Trail and the parallel Tamiami Canal cutting across the northern sections, acting as the primary human corridor through the wetlands. South of this divide, the terrain transitions into the protected expanse of Everglades National Park.
