About this map

The Florida State Miccosukee Indian Reservation dominates this 1970s orthophotomap, showing a landscape defined by water management and the natural patterns of the Everglades. The area is a complex of wetlands within the Everglades Wildlife Management Area, where the USGS identifies Conservation Area No 3A Water Impounded Periodically in this Area. Human engineering is visible through a network of infrastructure including Levee 67, Levee 28, and the Interceptor Canal.

Transport through this flooded terrain is remarkably specialized, featuring paths for a Weasel Airboat and various other airboat trails. Cutting across the southern portion of the quadrangle is the Everglades Parkway (Toll Road), providing one of the few high-ground routes through the swamp. Local landmarks like Lone Palm Head and Pumping Sta 3 BM 14 serve as critical reference points in an environment where natural features and artificial water controls meet.
