1972 Map of Long Pine Key

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Everglades National Park dominates this early 1970s orthophotomap, where the interplay of sawgrass and tropical hardwood hammocks is captured through detailed aerial imagery and planetable surveying. The dense vegetation of Long Pine Key stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding marshlands, providing a clear visual record of the area's hydrology and plant communities before later conservation efforts. Along the primary access road, the map identifies specific facilities including a campground, Camp Everglades, and the Long Pine Key Lookout Tower. Near the southern boundary, a Military Res is situated alongside a Radio Tower, reflecting the strategic and administrative presence in this part of Dade County. Notable natural transitions are marked by features like Rock Reef Pass and the winding Pinelands Trail, which offer a precise look at the navigable corridors through the pine rockland ecosystem during this era.
