1970 Map of Lake Harbor SE

About this map

Industrial agriculture and water management dominate this Palm Beach County landscape, defined by a rigid grid of fields and drainage infrastructure. The intersection of the Miami Canal and the Bolles Canal serves as the primary artery for water control in this section of the Everglades, supported by several Pump stations. The orthophotomap base reveals the precise geometry of the agricultural plots, which are serviced by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad running through the central section. Small-scale aviation and municipal infrastructure are evident near the eastern edge, where a Landing Strip and a Sewage Disposal facility are situated amidst the vast tracts of farmland. This survey captures a moment of intense land utilization, where the natural terrain has been entirely reorganized for productivity through large-scale engineering.
