1988 Map of Glades

About this map

The Everglades National Park and Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve dominate this coastal landscape at the intersection of fresh and salt water environments. The southern tip of the Florida mainland is defined here by an intricate network of drainage systems, including the Aerojet Canal No C-111 and Model Land Canal South, which demonstrate the intensive hydrological engineering of the region. The map captures a transition from the structured infrastructure of the Dade Correctional Institute and the U S Naval Reservation to the open waters of Barnes Sound and Manatee Bay. Small landforms such as Narrow Point, Barnes Point, and Middle Key provide fine-scale reference points along the shoreline. Human activity is concentrated along the South Dixie Highway and Card Sound Road, while a Quarry and various radio facilities indicate the industrial and communication needs of the area during the late 1980s.
