1970 Map of La Belle 4 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Collins Slough and the expansive Grassy Marsh define the hydrologic character of this Hendry County landscape in the early 1970s. This orthophotomap combines aerial photography with topographic data, revealing a transition between natural wetlands and early agricultural development. The geometric patterns of drainage canals and fields contrast sharply with the mottled texture of the native marshes, showing the active modification of the Florida Everglades fringe. Scattered infrastructure like a Radio Tower and various Pump stations are the primary markers of human activity in this otherwise sparsely settled area, highlighting the engineering required to manage water levels for land use.
