1956 Map of Glades

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Everglades National Park occupies the vast majority of this 1970s-era landscape, where the freshwater marsh meets the brackish waters of the coast. The transition from sawgrass prairie to mangrove shoreline is marked by a complex network of channels and keys, including Middle Key, Short Key, and Main Key. The presence of the Control Gate at the intersection of Canal 111 and the Glades Canal illustrates the mid-century water management efforts aimed at controlling drainage and salt water intrusion in the southern Florida peninsula.
