1970 Map of Loxahatchee SE

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge dominates this orthophotomap, showcasing a landscape of wet prairies and sawgrass ridges as they appeared in the 1970s and early 1980s. This portion of Conservation Area No 1 is defined by the sharp transition between the undeveloped glades and the organized water management infrastructure to the northeast. The L-40 Canal forms a rigid boundary line, punctuated by a Pump and elevation markers such as BM 18. This survey reflects the mid-century effort to balance environmental preservation with the hydraulic engineering required for South Florida's growth, capturing the intricate texture of the swamp vegetation in high contrast against the man-made canals and agricultural grids that border the refuge.
