1994 Map of Glades

About this map

The Southern Glades State Wildlife and Environmental Area and Everglades National Park dominate this South Florida landscape, where the terrestrial world meets the complex aquatic systems of the coast. A network of managed waterways, including the Aerojet Canal and Model Land Canal South, reveals the 20th-century history of water management and aerospace testing in the region. These canals cut through the marsh toward Manatee Bay and the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve, highlighting the tension between mid-century industrial development and conservation efforts.
