1970 Map of Hog Cypress

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Hog Cypress dominates the southern reaches of this Hendry County landscape, shown here as it transitioned through the early 1970s. The area is defined by a rigorous grid of drainage and irrigation, evidenced by the L-1 Canal and numerous Pump and Windmill sites that supported agricultural development in the Florida Everglades. Central to the northern section is the Airglades Airport, its runways etched into a landscape of geometric fields and natural wetlands. This orthophotomap provides a rare hybrid view of the era, combining traditional topographic surveying with an aerial photogrammetric base. The presence of Flaghole Road and various section lines highlights the systematic division of what was once a seasonal swamp, capturing the tension between South Florida’s natural hydrology and the persistent reach of mid-century civil engineering.
