1974 Map of Immokalee 1 SE

About this map

The Seminole Indian Reservation occupies a significant portion of this landscape, where the seasonal hydrology of the Big Cypress region is clearly visible through an intricate network of strands and sloughs. Water moves through the terrain via natural features like Kissimmee Bill Strand and Hard Camp Slough, while the West Feeder Canal and Little Lord Can indicate early efforts to manage the flow across the Hendry and Collier county line. This orthophotomap, based on 1971 aerial photography, provides an unfiltered view of the vegetation patterns and subtle elevation changes that define these wetlands. Notable landmarks such as Cow Bone Island and Canoe Lake Strand emerge from the dense landscape, alongside a lone Radio Tower that serves as a modern point of reference in an otherwise remote environment.
