1972 Map of Monroe Station NE

About this map

Buckskin Strand and Roberts Strand define the wet, linear ecology of this Florida landscape as it appeared in the early 1970s. This orthophotomap, derived from 1971 aerial photography, provides a distinct visual record of the South Florida interior before major development pressure reached this section of Collier County. The map reveals a complex mosaic of cypress strands and wet prairies, most notably Lost Dog Prairie in the northern reaches. Human presence is minimal and practical, marked by the long straight line of Monument Road and a solitary Landing Strip. The interplay of Gum Strand against the open prairie areas shows the natural drainage patterns that characterized the region prior to extensive modern hydrological modification.
