1973 Map of Lostmans River Ranger Station

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Everglades National Park's coastal mangrove wilderness is meticulously documented in this orthophotomap, which combines photographic aerial imagery with traditional topographic data. The map reveals a complex web of tidal creeks and brackish bays where the Lostmans River meets the Gulf of Mexico. Beyond the natural hydrology of First Bay and Second Bay, the map identifies rare human footprints in this remote environment, including the Lostmans River Ranger Station and isolated settlements like Walter Hamilton Place and Leon Hamilton Place. Cultural landmarks such as Hamilton Mound and Johnsons Mound indicate long-standing human presence on elevated ground amidst the swamps. Navigational features, including the Onion Key Campsite and a Radio Tower, highlight the area's role as a monitored frontier of the Florida coast in the early 1970s.
